Answer

$\text{a) Slope-Intercept Form: none} \\\\\text{b) Standard Form: } x=5$

Work Step by Step

$\bf{\text{Solution Outline:}}$ To find the equation of the line with the given characeristics: \begin{array}{l}\require{cancel} \text{through } (5,-6) \\ \text{vertical} ,\end{array} use $x=a.$ $\bf{\text{Solution Details:}}$ Vertical lines take the form $x=a.$ Since the line passes through $(5,-6),$ then the equation of the line is \begin{array}{l}\require{cancel} x=5 ,\end{array} The equation above cannot be expressed in the Slope-Intercept Form. Hence, the equation of the line is \begin{array}{l}\require{cancel} \text{a) Slope-Intercept Form: none} \\\\\text{b) Standard Form: } x=5 .\end{array}
