Vertical lines have equations x = c and horizontal lines y = c
(x, y) --> (-5, -3)
so, vertical x = -5 and horizontal y = -3
(x, y) --> (5, 3)
so, vertical x = 5 and horizontal y = 3

a horizontal line means that the y coordinate never changes.
The equation of a horizontal line is y = (y coordinate of given point)
24) the point is (-5,-3) so the equation of the horizontal line is y=-3
26) the point is (5,3) so the equation of the horizontal line is y=3
the vertical line is similar. The x coordinate does not change in a vertical line.
The equation of a vertical line is x=(x coordinate of given point)
24) the point is (-5,-3) so the equation of the vertical line is x=-5
26) the point is (5,3) so the equation of the vertical line is x=5

24 (-5, -3)
If line is horizontal the y value never, ever changes, so the equation is just y= -3
If the line is vertical the x value never, ever changes, so the equation is just x=-5
#26
(5,3)
Horizontal line y=3
Vertical line x = 5

A horizontal line has a constant y value and any x value
A vertical line has a constant x value and any y value
-5, -3
horizontal: y = -3......This is true for every point on the line
vertical: x = -5..........This is true for every point on the line
5, 3
y = 3
x = 5
