What is a Vertical Line Equation?
In coordinate geometry, a vertical line is a line that is parallel to the y-axis and perpendicular to the x-axis. The equation of a vertical line is always in the form x = k
, where k
is a constant representing the x-intercept (the point where the line crosses the x-axis).
For example, if you have a vertical line passing through the point (3, 0), its equation is x = 3
. No matter what the y-value is, the x-value on this line is always 3. This calculator helps you find this equation by simply entering the x-coordinate. The visualization helps to understand how the vertical line looks on the Cartesian plane.
