You can put this solution on YOUR website!

the equation in standard form: ax%2Bby=c
The slope of a line can be positive, negative, zero or undefined. When the line is exactly vertical, it does+not have a defined slope.
Since your the line has undefined slope, its equation can be written only as
x=+something, and since it passes through the point (-11, 7) the
equation is clearly x=-11 ....vertical line
