Question
**Writing Equations of Vertical and Horizontal Lines**

*Objective:* Write equations for the vertical and horizontal lines passing through the point \((-8,0)\).

---

**Instructions:**

1. Identify the equations of the vertical and horizontal lines that pass through a specific point given as \((-8,0)\).

2. Use the input fields provided to enter the equations.

---

**Input Section:**

* Vertical Line Equation: 
* Horizontal Line Equation: 

---

**Buttons Available:**

* **X:** This button may represent the tool to input the variable \(x\).
* **⟳:** This button may represent a reset or refresh option.
* **?**: This button may represent a help or hint option.

---

**Note:** Ensure the correct format for the equations is used for vertical and horizontal lines.

**Vertical Line Equation:** This line is characterized by all points having the same x-coordinate. For point \((-8,0)\), the equation is \(x = -8\).

**Horizontal Line Equation:** This line is characterized by all points having the same y-coordinate. For point \((-8,0)\), the equation is \(y = 0\).

---

Once you have completed entering the equations, press the "Continue" button to proceed. 

--- 

**Example:**
If the point given was \((3, 5)\):
* Vertical Line Equation: \(x = 3\)
* Horizontal Line Equation: \(y = 5\)
