Write an equation for the line (7, -3) and (7, 0). Solve for y.

1 answer

The given points are (7, -3) and (7, 0). Since the x-coordinate of both points is 7, it means that any value of y corresponds to x = 7. Hence, we can conclude that the line is vertical and parallel to the y-axis.

For all points on this line, the x-coordinate is constant at 7, so the equation for this line in slope-intercept form (y = mx + b) is:

x = 7

To solve for y, we need to isolate y on one side of the equation. Subtracting 7 from both sides:

x - 7 = 7 - 7
x - 7 = 0

So the equation for the line (7, -3) and (7, 0) is x - 7 = 0 or simply x = 7. The value of y can be any real number.
