Exercise 46 Page 143

How can we write an equation for a vertical line?

No, see solution.

Practice makes perfect
The equation for most straight lines can be written in slope-intercept form. But what about a vertical line? Let's recall the general form of a vertical line.

x=a We can see that this equation cannot be written in slope-intercept form. Therefore, our friend is not correct.
