Why do functions with vertical asympotes sometimes have a numerator of x and other times numerator of 1?

This is because whether a function has a vertical asymptote (VA) or not is not affected by the numerator. The denominator is where the VA originates when you try to divide by 0. For example, y=x/(x-1) and and y=1/(x-1) BOTH have VAs when the denominator is equal to zero. x-1=0 when x=1, so that's where the VA is, regardless of the numerator.

How do you tell if a function with a vertical asympote has a numerator of 1 or a numerator of x?
If there are no coordinates given then you cannot.
Do all lines represent functions?
No. Vertical lines are not.
Are vertical angles alway sometimes or never supplementary?
sometimes
How are linear equations and functions alike?
They are not. A vertical line is not a function so all linear equations are not functions. And all functions are not linear equations.
What are the similarities between exponential linear and quadratic functions?
Of the three functions, all three pass the vertical line test. That is, if you draw a vertical line anywhere on the graph that the function is, that line will only pass through the function once. All three are also invertible functions, which means that there is a function that is capable of "undoing" the original function. And because the functions all pass the vertical line test, they are all able to be differentiated.

What is the vertical line called separating the numerator from the denominator?
It's called a vinculum.

Why does your computer screen have vertical lines on it sometimes?
If your computer screen has vertical lines on it sometimes your monitor or graphics card may be dying.
