| Solved by pluggable solver: Finding the Equation of a Line |
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:
 Graph of through the points (,) and (,)

You can put this solution on YOUR website! SLOPE=(4+3)/(2-2)=7/0= A VERTICLE LINE PASSING THROUGH THE POINT X=2
THEN THE EQUATION OF THIS LINE IS :
X=2 ANSWER.
PROOF IS IN THE GRAFTING OF THESE TWO POINTS & THEN DRAWING A VERTICLE LINE THROUGH THEM.
