Question 143170: how do i find slope-intercept form?
i need to find the slope-intercept form for the line through the points (2,4) and (2,2).
please help fast!
:]
thanks!

You can put this solution on YOUR website! First lets find the slope through the points ( , ) and (,)
 Start with the slope formula (note: ) is the first point (,) and ) is the second point (,))
 Plug in  , , , (these are the coordinates of given points)
 Subtract the terms in the numerator  to get  . Subtract the terms in the denominator  to get 
Since the denominator is zero, the slope is undefined (remember you cannot divide by zero). So we cannot use the slope intercept form to write an equation. So we can only say that the equation is a vertical line through  , which means the equation is (notice this is not in slope-intercept form)
So the equation looks like this:
