![Check Mark](/static/check-mark.png)
Answer to Problem 63HP
No.
Explanation of Solution
Let us assume the equation of a vertical line
Formula Used:
Equation of slope-intercept form of a line is given by:
Where
Calculation:
Choose any two points on the line
(2,0) , (2,1) and find the slope of the line.
The slope is infinite. So, the slope is not defined for vertical line .
Hence, vertical line cannot be written in slope-intercept form.
Graph:
Plot the points with x value =2 and y value can be any.
Let us plot (2,0) , (2,1) and join these points to get the graph of the equation.
