First let's find the slope of the line through the points and


Note: is the first point . So this means that and .
Also, is the second point . So this means that and .


Start with the slope formula.


Plug in , , , and


Subtract from to get


Subtract from to get


Remember, you cannot divide by zero. So this means that the slope is undefined.


Since the slope is undefined, this means that the equation of the line through the points and is .
