Can't be done. Since the

-coordinates of the two points are equal, the denominator of the slope formula will be zero. Hence the slope is undefined and the slope-intercept form is not possible.

Whenever you have two points with equal

-coordinates, just set

equal to the value of that

-coordinate for the equation of your vertical line.
