a vertical line goes up and down. That means it will only cross the x axis and not the y axis.
It is x = 3

There is not really much steps to show. If it is a vertical line, it will be x =.....if it is a horizontal line, it will be y =....and you just look at your points (x,y). If it is vertical, it is x = whatever number is in the x spot. If it is a horizontal line, then it will be y = whatever is in the y spot. Does that make sense ?
