document.write( "A line passes through the points (p, a) and (p, –a) 
\n" );
document.write( "where p and a are real numbers and p ≠ 0
\n" );
document.write( "(p, a) and 
\n" );
document.write( "(p, –a)   m =   Cannot divide by ZERO, there is no slope to this Line.
\n" );
document.write( "slope of the line:  no slope (does not exist)
\n" );
document.write( "equation of the line:   x = p  Perpendicular Line
\n" );
document.write( "y-intercept: none
\n" );
document.write( "slope of a line perpendicular to the given line:  would be m = 0, horizontal Line y = 3, For example
