We have here a special case where the line is vertical. In this case, the line has an "infinite" slope (or it is not defined). Therefore, since the line is vertical and contains the point (10, 14), the line is given by the equation:


x=10

The standard form of the line is given by the general equation:


Ax+By=C

Then, we can rewrite the equation as follows:


x+0y=10

We can see that this line contains the point (10,14):

We can see that the vertical line, x + 0y = 10 passes through the point (10, 14).

In summary, the line is given by x + 0y = 10 (A = 1, B = 0, C = 10).
