: Can someone help me on this problem?
I need to write the equation of the line passing through the given pairs of points. I need to write the result in slope-intercept form, where possible:
(2, -3) and (2, 4)
Thanks,

I need to write the equation of the line passing through the given pairs of points. I need to write the result in slope-intercept form, where possible:
(2, -3) and (2, 4)
Notice that both the x's are 2. If you were to plot the points and connect the dots, you'd have a vertical line going through x=2. That is a special case. Vertical lines can't be written in slope intercept form because their slope is undefined and they don't cross the y axis, though x=0 is the y-axis.
The equation of this line is x=2.
Happy Calculating, Ashley!!!
