If a vertical line is drawn through the poin​​t (4, 3), at what point will it intersect the ​x​-axis?

Accepted Answer

Hey, everyone here we are asked at which point will align parallel to the Y axis intersect the X axis. If it passes through the 0.19 and four, here we have four answer choice options, answer choice. A Y is equal to four. Answer by is equal to 19. Answer CX is equal to 19 and answer DX is equal to four. So to find the point where our line intersects the X axis, we just want to dissect the given information in the problem statement. So we are first given that our line is going to be parallel to the Y axis. And since our line is parallel to the Y axis, this tells us that our line must be a vertical line. And so we have a vertical line and we know it must pass through the 0.19 and four. So our vertical line must go through the X coordinate which is 19. So this tells us our line will be X is equal to 19. And since this is our line, it will intersect the X axis at the same X coordinate where X is 19. So in other words, since our line, our vertical line is X is equal to 19. We know that it will intersect the X axis at X is equal to 19. So we are left here with answer choice C where again our line will intersect the X axis at X is equal to 19. Thanks for watching. I hope you found this video helpful and I'll see you again next time.
