vertical through (-6,5)
find an equation in slope intercept form where possible
-------------
slope-intercept form is y = mx+b
-------------
A vertical line thru (-6,5) will contain all points where x = 6
The equation of such a line is x=6
---------------
Since the slope is "undefined" there is no slope-intercept form
for this equation.
----------------
Also you should note, it is not a function because there are more
than one y value for each x value.
