Question 552940: What is the standard form of the equation for a vertical line?

In the standard equation for a generic line, make the coefficient of y zero, to make y disappear.
You could end up with .
I would prefer , because if they asked me for the equation of the vertical line that passes through the point (2/3,5) I would write rather than or , or any of the infinity of other equivalent equations. Of course, if I knew that they wanted an answer with integer coefficients, I would write .
There are infinity of equivalent standard form equations for each line. If the line is not vertical, there is just one slope-intercept form. Unfortunately for a vertical line, there is no slope, and no slope-intercept equation.
