If this line is parallel to x=4 this also means that this is a vertical line.
The equation of this line is x=2.
Solved by pluggable solver: DESCRIBE a linear EQUATION: slope, intercepts, etc
this equation defines a vertical line.

  • X intercept: 4. 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
