A student observes the two points A(0,4)A(0,4) and B(0,−2)B(0,-2) and claims that the line passing through them is horizontal. (i) Determine whether the line through AA and BB is vertical or horizontal. Give a brief reason for your answer. (ii) Write the equation of the line passing through AA and BB. (iii) Explain how the constant term in the equation obtained in part (ii) helps you identify the orientation of the line.
