Answer:
Part 1) Vertical line : [tex]x=1[/tex]
Part 2) Horizontal line : [tex]y=-4[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Part 1) Write the equation for the vertical line passing through the point (1,-4)
we know that
The equation of a vertical line (parallel to the y-axis) is equal to the x-coordinate of the point that passes through it
so
The x-coordinate is 1
therefore
The equation of the line is
[tex]x=1[/tex]
Part 2) Write the equation for the horizontal line passing through the point (1,-4)
we know that
The equation of a horizontal line (parallel to the x-axis) is equal to the y-coordinate of the point that passes through it
so
The y-coordinate is -4
therefore
The equation of the line is
[tex]y=-4[/tex]
