Write the equation of the line that is perpendicular to the x-axis and passes through the point (3, 2).

Hello!

Any (straight) line perpendicular to the x-axis has the equation of the form where is a constant. In other words, for all points of such a line the x-coordinate is the same (and is equal to ).

Therefore if the line must go through the point whose x-coordinate is then its equation is
