Explanation:
#"the equation of a line in "color(blue)"slope-intercept form"# is.
#•color(white)(x)y=mx+b#
#"where m is the slope and b the y-intercept"#
#2x+9=3/2larrcolor(blue)"is not in this form"#
#"subtract 9 from both sides and divide by 2"#
#2x=3/2-9=3/2-18/2=-15/2#
#rArrx=-15/4#
#"the line with equation "color(red)(bar(ul(|color(white)(2/2)color(black)(x=c)color(white)(2/2)|)))#
#"is a special case in that it is a vertical line parallel to"#
#"the y-axis and passing through all points with an"#
#"x-coordinate equal to c"#
#rArr"slope is undefined"#
#"and x-intercept "=-15/4#
