What is the equation of a vertical line that passes through the point (3,2)?

  1. y=2

  2. x=3

  3. y=-2

  4. x=-2

The correct answer is: x=3

A vertical line has a slope that is undefined, and the equation is therefore x=a, where "a" is any number. In this case, since the line passes through the point (3,2), the correct equation would be x=3. Option A, y=2, is the equation of a horizontal line passing through the point (0,2). Option C, y=-2, is the equation of a horizontal line passing through the point (0,-2). Option D, x=-2, is the equation of a vertical line passing through the point (-2,0). Therefore, B is the only correct option for a vertical line passing through the point (3,2).
