Vertical Line
A vertical line is a straight line that travels from top to bottom or bottom to top and runs parallel to the y-axis.
A horizontal line is a straight line with an x-axis intercept but no y-axis intercept.
A vertical line is a straight line with a y-axis intercept but no x-axis intercept.
Horizontal lines are known as sleeping lines.
Vertical lines are known as standing lines.
Horizontal lines are parallel to the y-axis in coordinate geometry.
Vertical lines are parallel to the x-axis in coordinate geometry.
Horizontal Line Equation
The equation of a horizontal line is
y = b or y = -b
where b is constant.
Vertical Line Equation
The equation of a vertical line is
x =a or x = -a
where a is constant.
