  • Coordinates (x, y)
  • Slope Formula:
    \displaystyle m = (y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)

Explanation:

Step 1: Define

Identify

Point (6, 8)

Point (6, 6)

Step 2: Find slope m

Simply plug in the 2 coordinates into the slope formula to find slope m

  1. Substitute in points [Slope Formula]:
    \displaystyle m = (6-8)/(6-6)
  2. [Fraction] Subtract:
    \displaystyle m = (-2)/(0)
  3. Simplify: m = undefined

∴ We have a vertical line at x = 6.
