Question

How do you find a standard form equation for the line with (6,7); m= undefined?

Answer 1

Let's start with `y=mx+b`

Explanation:

Use what we know:
`7=6*m+b->`

Now we express `b` in terms of `m`:
`b=7-6m->y=mx+7-6m->y=m(x-6)+7`

An other way:
From the "simple" function `y=mx`, that passes `(0,0)` we have translated `6` to the right, which makes for the `-6`, and `7` upward, which makes for the `+7`

Answer 2

x=6.

Explanation:

We first observe that the slope of the required line = m is undefined. This means that the reqd. line must be vertical line & as, by data, it passes through the point (6,7), its eqn. must be x=6.
