SOLUTION: A line passes through the points (p, a) and (p, �a) where p and a are real numbers. If p=0, what is the y-intercept? Explain your reasoning.

Question 923703: A line passes through the points (p, a) and (p, �a) where p and a are real numbers. If p=0, what is the y-intercept? Explain your reasoning.

the line is a vertical line, and therefore has no single y-intercept.
in other words, y-intercept is undefined for all vertical lines.
