Since that green vertical line goes through -6 on the x-axis 
and is vertical, the coordinate of every point on that line
has its x-coordinate as -6, so the equation is simply 

       x = -6

----
Every vertical line has an equation of the for x = k.
-----
Since your line passes thru (-6,-4), k = -6

Ans:: x = -6
