A line passes through the points (p, a) and (p, –a) where p and a are real numbers and p ≠ 0. Describe each of the following. Explain your reasoning.
slope of the line
equation of the line
y-intercept
slope of a line perpendicular to the given line

Just make up any numbers for p and a and plot the two points and then draw a line between them.
What can you tell me about the line.
If you used different a and p values, what couls you tell me about the line still.
Try this and maybe you will be able to answer your own question. :))
