A line with a slope of zero has the characteristic that ALL of the points included in the line have identical -coordinates. So if you have a line with slope zero passing through , then the equation of the line would be:



Which is another way of saying: "Give me the set of ordered pairs such that the -coordinate is the same value in every one of the ordered pairs, and I don't care what the -coordinate is.
