Choose the equation of the horizontal line that passes through the point (-5, 1).


y = -5


x = 1


y = 1


x = -5



[4_05]Choose the equation of the vertical line passing through the point (1, -1).


x = 1


y = 1


x = -1


y = -1

Verified Answer :

Q. 1 is y=1 passes through that point
Q.2 is x= 1

Answer:

Ques 1)

Horizontal line:   y=1

Ques 2)

Vertical Line: x=1

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that a horizontal line is a line that passes through a point such that the value of y is fixed for such a line.

Hence, if a horizontal line passes through (a,b) then the equation of line is:

                         y=b

Similarly a vertical line is a line that passes through a point such that the value of x is fixed for such a line.

Hence, if a vertical line passes through (a,b) then the equation of line is:

                         x=a

Ques 1)

The horizontal line passes through the point (-5, 1).

Hence, the equation of the horizontal line is:

                                      y= 1.

Ques 2)

The vertical line passes through the point (1,-1).

Hence, the equation of the vertical line is:

                                         x=1
