Equations of Horizontal and Vertical Lines

This video tutorial by eMath Instruction covers the equations of horizontal and vertical lines in algebra. It explains how these lines differ from traditional linear functions and provides simple methods to derive their equations. The tutorial includes exercises to practice identifying and graphing these lines, and it demonstrates their application in geometry to find areas. The lesson concludes with a summary of key points and encourages students to continue practicing these concepts.
