Graph the line that passes through the points $(-8,-2)$ and $(-8,1)$ and determine the equation of the line.

Step 1 ：Graph the line that passes through the points (-8,-2) and (-8,1) and determine the equation of the line.

Step 2 ：The points given have the same x-coordinate. This means that the line passing through these points is a vertical line.

Step 3 ：The equation of a vertical line is of the form x = k, where k is the constant x-coordinate of the points on the line.

Step 4 ：In this case, the equation of the line is x = -8.

Step 5 ：Final Answer: The equation of the line that passes through the points (-8,-2) and (-8,1) is \(\boxed{x = -8}\).
