See a solution process below:

A line is a vertical line when the slope of the line is undefined.

This means for each and every value of $y$ $y$ , the $x$ $x$ value is the same.

So, give the point $(- 8, 1)$ $(-8, 1)$ we know the $x$ $x$ value is $- 8$ $-8$ .

Therefore, we can plug any value in for $y$ $y$ and $x$ $x$ will always be $- 8$ $-8$ .

Additional points are:

$(- 8, 2)$ $(-8, 2)$ or

$(- 8, 3)$ $(-8, 3)$ or

$(- 8, 4)$ $(-8, 4)$ or

$(- 8, - 2)$ $(-8, -2)$ or

$(- 8, - 3)$ $(-8, -3)$ or

$(- 8, 1, 000, 000, 000, 000, 000, 000, 000)$ $(-8, 1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000)$ or

$(- 8, - 1, 000, 000, 000, 000, 000, 000, 000)$ $(-8, -1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000)$ or

$(- 8, 1.2345678901234567890123456789)$ $(-8, 1.2345678901234567890123456789)$
