A line with a slope of zero has the characteristic that ALL of the points included in the line have identical 
-coordinates. So if you have a line with slope zero passing through )
, then the equation of the line would be:
Which is another way of saying: "Give me the set of ordered pairs such that the -coordinate is the same value in every one of the ordered pairs, and I don't care what the 
-coordinate is.
