slope=rise/run

slope=(1-0)/(2-2)=1/0

there is no slope because of the 0 in the denominator

y=mx+b is the slope-intercept form but there is no slope and no y-intercept

the equation of the line is x=2, which is a vertical line parallel to the y-axis

y can be any number and x will always be 2 (2,y)
