Write the equation of the line passing through (6,2) and (6, -6).
---------
Plot the two points.
Both points have the same x-value.
Equation of the line is x=6

FIRST WE NEED TO FIND THE SLOPE (Y2-Y1)/(X2-X1) THUS
(-6-2)/(6-6)
-8/0 WHICH INDICATES A PERPENDICULAR LINE THROUGH THE POINT X=6
THUS THE EQUATION FOR THIS LINE IS X=6 & THERE IS NO Y INTERCEPT.
