y = -1

Front

How do you identify a vertical line on a graph?

Back

A vertical line is identified by a constant x-value, meaning it does not change regardless of the y-value.

How do you identify a horizontal line on a graph?

Back

A horizontal line is identified by a constant y-value, meaning it does not change regardless of the x-value.

Front

What is the general form of the equation for a vertical line?

Back
