(-2,0) and (-2,-2).
First we find the slope.
Slope=(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
Slope=(-2-0)/(-2+2)
Slope=-2/0
slope=0
The equation is:
y=mx+b
0=0*-2+b
0=0+b
0=b is the y intercept.
y=0x+0
y=0
+graph%28+300%2C+200%2C+-6%2C+5%2C+-10%2C+10%2C+y+=0%29+ (graph 300x200 pixels, x from -6 to 5, y from -10 to 10, y =0).
This line is a verticle line through y=0.
