Concept explainers
To find the equation of line in slope-intercept form.
Answer to Problem 4GP
Explanation of Solution
Given:
Line passing through the point
Concept used:
Parallel lines have same slope.
Equation of a line passing through the point
Calculation:
Given that the required line is perpendicular to y-axis.
This implies that the required line must be parallel to x-axis.
Now the slope of x-axis is 0.
Since the required line is parallel to x-axis, therefore the slope of required line is also 0.
Hence equation of the line passing through the point
