How to Solve Vertical Line Questions in Maths?

BY Team Aakash Byju's

A line that runs parallel to the Y-axis in a coordinate plane is called as vertical line.

Any place along this line will have the same  x-coordinate.

The examples of the points of vertical lines are (2,0), (-3,0), (4,0), and  so on

A horizontal line, on the other hand, is parallel to the x-axis and runs from left to right.

Vertical lines have no inclination. Because it runs parallel to the  y-axis, the slope isn't defined.

As a result, the vertical line crossing the x-axis at any point 'a' has the equation x = a.

To check whether the relation is a function, we conduct a vertical line test.

Example: Draw a graph for the following information

x=8 is a vertical line parallel to the y-axis that passes through the x-axis at a distance of 8 units to the right of the origin.

X = 8

x=-4 is a vertical line parallel to the y-axis that passes across the x-axis at a distance of 4 units on the left side of the origin.

X = – 4

x=3 is a vertical line parallel to the y-axis that passes across the x-axis at a distance of 3 units on the right side of the origin.

X = 3

x=6 is a vertical line parallel to the y-axis that passes across the x-axis at a distance of 6 units on the right side of the origin.

X = 6
