5. Find the equation of a line passing thru the point (0,3) with an undefined slope.
Answer

a.x = 0

b. y = 3

c. x + y = 3

d. x - y = 3


Explanation / Answer

1. 2*(3+4)-3*(-2) =2*7+6=14+6= 20 2. -8*(1-5x)=-48 (1-5x)=6 -5x=5 x=-1 3. m=3, b=4 y=mx+b y=3x+4 4. -1=7-2x*(-1) -8=-2x*-1 4=-x x=-4 5. Undefined slope means dy/dx=inf...thus x=0. Y=3 is a horizontal line whereas x=0 is a vertical line. The answer is x=0.
