You can put this solution on YOUR website! I assume the original equation is,
.
.
.
Yes, what you have is correct.
.
.
.
Now compare it to a line in slope-intercept form,
When ,
Comparing the terms, there is no x term so and .
Zero slope means horizontal line.
.
.
When ,
When you compare to the standard case, it's not possible to compare.
In this case, it is a vertical line and doesn't have a slope-intercept form because the slope is undefined.
