Exercise 105 Page 445

How do you write a vertical line in general form?

Solution: (3,5)
Graph:

Practice makes perfect
By graphing the given equations, we can determine the number of solutions to the system. This will be the point at which the lines intersect. y=5 x=3

Notice, that the line y = 5 is a horizontal line, which intersects the y-axis at the point (0,5). Furthermore, x = 3 is a vertical line, which intersects the x-axis at the point (3,0). Let's graph these lines.

We can see that the lines intersect at exactly one point.

The point of intersection at (3,5) is the one solution to the system.
