Question 2 • WI-Mathematics Grade 8 A

Which statements are true? Check all that apply.

Answer
A
The line that goes through the points (3,7) and (–2,7) is a horizontal line.
B
The equation x = –8 is a vertical line that goes through the point (–8,3).
C
The line that goes through the points (0,5) and (0,–7) is a vertical line.
D
The points on a horizontal line have the same x-coordinate.

Explanation

A horizontal line has the same y-coordinate at every point. In A, both points have y = 7, so the line is horizontal. In B, x = −8 fixes the x-coordinate, making a vertical line that passes through (−8, 3); in C, both points have x = 0, so their line is vertical. D is false because points on a horizontal line share the same y-coordinate, not the same x-coordinate.
