Algebra/Geometry Review help?
So I am in Algebra 2 and it was the first day and we got an Algebra/Geometry review sheet. I forget how to do this problem:
Write the answer in slope intercept form (y=mx+b)
A line with an undefined slope passing through (1,0)
Can you please tell me how to solve this? Thank you.

The equation for a line includes:
y= vertical component
x=horizontal component
m= slope of line
b= where line hits when y =0
The teacher gave you "b" when the point (1,0) was given
The m is tough. I would set it to "m" or "1"
either:
y=mx+1
or:
y=x+1

If the slope is undefined, the line is vertical. Any other line would have a slope (a horizontal line would have a zero slope).
x = 1 is the equation (because the value of x will remain 1 at any value of y)
