Find an equation of the vertical line through left parenthesis negative 8 comma 3 right parenthesis (−8,3) in the form ax plus +by equals =c, where a, b, and c are integers with no factor common to all three, and a greater than or equals ≥0.
Since we are only concerned with the vertical line passing through (-8, 3), then the line we should form should have points where the x coordinate is always -8. Translating this into an equation we get:
[tex]x=-8[/tex]
We do not need the variable y anymore since we are only concerned with a vertical line.
