How do you find an equation of a line containing the point (-2, 2), with undefined slope?

Answer 1

Isaiah Anthony

#y-2= m(x+2)#

#m# is the gradient of the line. It can be any real value.

You can check that the line will pass through #(-2,2)# no matter what value of #m# is.

To find the equation of a line with an undefined slope containing the point (-2, 2), you would use the equation:

[x = -2]

This represents a vertical line passing through the point (-2, 2).
