Question 1008965: a line perpendicular to the x axis and through (4,1)

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Any line perpendicular to the x-axis will
have an equation that looks like:
+x+=+a+ where the +a+ is given by
any of the points that the line passes through.
All these points look like: ( a, y ), where +y+
can be any value.
You are given the point ( 4,1 ), so +a+=+4+
and the equation of the line is:
+x+=+4+
