1. Problem Description

The problem has two parts.
(c) Find the equation of a line with an undefined slope that contains the point (3,2)(-3, 2).
(d) Given the equation of a line y5=m(x+8)y - 5 = m(x + 8) with slope mm, identify a point that must be on the line.

2. Solution Steps

(c) A line with an undefined slope is a vertical line. The equation of a vertical line is of the form x=cx = c, where cc is a constant. Since the line contains the point (3,2)(-3, 2), the xx-coordinate of the point must satisfy the equation of the line. Thus, the equation of the line is x=3x = -3.
(d) The given equation is in point-slope form:
yy1=m(xx1)y - y_1 = m(x - x_1), where (x1,y1)(x_1, y_1) is a point on the line and mm is the slope.
The equation can be rewritten as y5=m(x(8))y - 5 = m(x - (-8)).
Comparing this with the point-slope form, we have x1=8x_1 = -8 and y1=5y_1 = 5.
Therefore, the point (8,5)(-8, 5) must be on the line.

3. Final Answer

(c) x=3x = -3
(d) (8,5)(-8, 5)
