A student says that the equation of the line that passes through the points (6, 1) and (6, 3) cannot

points carefully. What do you notice?)
PLEASE HELP ME

Answer:

Your points have the same x coordinates....this means that u have a vertical line which has an undefined slope. Being that the slope is undefined, you cannot write the vertical line in slope intercept or point slope form. Im not full sure this is right but maybe this will help understand something

Answer:

The line has same x- values and different y- values.

It can have an equation, which is:

  • x = 6

For any value of y, the line has x- value of 6.
