## anonymous one year ago Write an equation for (a) the vertical line and (b) the horizontal line though the point P. P(3,2) I have no idea what to do!

1. anonymous

i think its x=3

2. anonymous

and y=2

3. pandaecat

Yes, it is x=3.

4. anonymous

but what if i have negative pi , pi /4

5. pandaecat

This is because a horizontal or vertical is just a straight line, so any point on the line of x=3 would be an answer. So on a question like this, just look at the x and y.

6. pandaecat

IDK about that... open another question and ask someone else, I'd say.

7. anonymous

alright thank you!

Are you asking: $$"$$what if instead of the point (3,2) I had a point $$($$-$$\pi$$, $$^\pi/_4$$ $$)$$, then what would my vertial and horizontal lines (that go through this point) be$$"$$?

9. anonymous

yes

10. SolomonZelman

Ok, I will tell you that for any point ($$w$$, $$k$$) there is only one vertical and one horizontal line that go through that point: x=$$w$$ is your vertical line y=$$k$$ is your horizontal line let me draw a(n example of a) picture that corresponds to what I said.,..

alrighty!
