Find an equation of the vertical line through (3 comma negative 1 )in the form axplusbyequals​c, where​ a, b, and c are integers with no factor common to all​ three, and agreater than or equals0.

Answer :

The equation of the vertical line is [tex]1x+0y=3[/tex]

Explanation:

It is given that the vertical line passes through the points [tex](3,-1)[/tex]

For vertical line, the slope is undefined.

Hence, [tex]b=0[/tex]

Let us substitute the coordinate [tex](3,-1)[/tex] in the equation [tex]ax+by=c[/tex], we have,

[tex]3a+0y=c[/tex]

Simplifying, we have,

[tex]3a=c[/tex]

[tex]3=\frac{c}{a}[/tex]

where [tex]a=1[/tex] and [tex]c=3[/tex]

Substituting the values of a, b and c in the equation [tex]ax+by=c[/tex], we have,

[tex]1x+0y=3[/tex]

Thus, the equation of the vertical line is [tex]1x+0y=3[/tex]
