Question 640462
<font face="Times New Roman" size="+2">


Can't be done.  Since the *[tex \LARGE x]-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 *[tex \LARGE x]-coordinates, just set *[tex \LARGE x] equal to the value of that *[tex \LARGE x]-coordinate for the equation of your vertical line.

*[tex \LARGE e^{i\pi}\ +\ 1\ =\ 0]
My calculator said it, I believe it, that settles it
