Big Hint! "Vertical Line".

Trying to put the equation into slope-intercept form seems strange. The equation has only one variable, and will not need to use the other variable.

y=mx+b, but the form like this will not be possible.

x=5%2F6 and this gives no restrictions on y. You should understand how this will be a vertical line. Slope m has NO VALUE. The line x=5/6 has NO y-INTERCEPT.
