Question 256108: Write the equation of the line containing P(3, 0) and perpendicular to the x-axis.

A line perpendicular to the 
-axis is a vertical line. A vertical line through a given point has the property that ALL ordered pairs that comprise the line have identical -coordinates, and the 
-coordinates comprise the set of real numbers. Therefore, the only restriction on any given pair in the line you wish to describe is that 
. That equation fully and uniquely describes the line you seek and is, in fact, the equation you want.
