Hi,
A line passes through the points (p, a) and (p, –a)
where p and a are real numbers and p ≠ 0
(p, a) and
(p, –a) m =  Cannot divide by ZERO, there is no slope to this Line.
slope of the line: no slope (does not exist)
equation of the line: x = p Perpendicular Line
y-intercept: none
slope of a line perpendicular to the given line: would be m = 0, horizontal Line y = 3, For example
See Lines x = 2 (Blue) and y = 3 (Green) on graph below
