A line parallel to the 
-axis is a vertical line. Vertical lines have a couple of interesting characteristics. In the first place, ALL of the 
-coordinates of the set of ordered pairs that comprise the line have to be identical. Since all of the -coordinates are equal, no matter which two points you choose for the purposes of computing the slope, the slope fraction will have a zero denominator. Hence, the slope of any vertical line is undefined.
You can't write the equation of a vertical line in slope-intercept form because the slope quantity is undefined. However, since the -coordinates of all the points on the line are identical, the equation of a vertical line passing through the point )
is uniquely defined by the equation

Plot the point.
Draw a line thru it that is parallel to the y-axis.
Do you see that it passes thru all the points where
x = 6.
-------
Equation: x = 6
