Write the equation of a line that passes through the points ( -2, 5) and (-2, 11).

since x is not changing, it is a vertical line, x=-2

that makes since :) thanks, but how would i solve other problems that are given to me in this manor?

OpenStudy (mrdoe):

in general, slope = change in y/change in x, as you can see here we would be dividing by zero which tells us the slope is infinite, and thus a vertical line
