When the x-coordinates of two points are the same, it means that the line passing through those points will be vertical. In this case, the x-coordinate of both points is 8, so the line is vertical.
A vertical line does not have a well-defined slope, so it cannot be expressed in slope-intercept form (y = mx + b).
The equation of the vertical line passing through these two points is simply x = 8.
Write the equation, in slope-intercept form if possible, of the line passing through the two points.
(8,3) and (8,−6)
