The only line that would be perpendicular to the x axis would be a vertical line at any x value. Since you have a point it must satisfy the only logical line would be x=-6 this would include all y values +,-
Solved by pluggable solver: DESCRIBE a linear EQUATION: slope, intercepts, etc
this equation defines a vertical line.

  • X intercept: -6. X intercept is the intersection of the line with the x axis.

  • Y intercept: not defined (the line IS vertical)

  • Slope: not defined, can be thought of as infinite
