Basically, a VERTICAL line has an undefined slope . 
So can you see all the lines i've drawn? :) Each one has an undefined slope.

So now if you look at your question. It wants you to write an equation with an undefined slope, and so it passes through the point ( -2, 4).
So what would the x-value be in the point ( -2 , 4) ?

anonymous · Answer

x=-2

butterflydreamer · Answer

correct ^_^.
So we know x = -2 
Now can you sketch that for me? 
Remember : since the slope is undefined, it is a vertical line, like the ones i drew above.
So what would your line look like?

uhhhh

hang on lol havin difficulties haha

butterflydreamer · Answer

Hint:
underfined slope = vertical line.
cuts through the point ( -2 ,4 )
Therefore since x = -2..this means it is a vertical line that cuts through the x-axis at -2 :)
