Question 1062160: A line passes through the point (-6,6) and (-6,2). In two complete sentences, explain why it is not possible to write the equation of the given line in the traditional version of the point slope form of a line.

A line through (-6,6) and (-6,2) is a vertical line. A vertical line has an undefined slope and so the equation of this line can not be written in traditional point slope form.
