Question

anonymous · Answer

I'm not sure where to begin with this. Will I be using the y=mx+b formula?

anonymous · Answer

If so, how do I find the slope?

anonymous · Answer

Oh. How do I get x2 and y2?

anonymous · Answer

Would it be the same points repeating?

anonymous · Answer

Or the opposite?

A line parallel to the y-axis is a vertical line. Vertical lines have the characteristic that the x-coordinates of all of the points that comprise the line are equal.
