Question

What is the equation of a line that contains the points (5, 0) and (5, −2)?

Answer 1

Answer:

y=mx+b

x=5

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

Answer:

$x=5$

Explanation:

This is the equation for the line, because both points match this equation.  It is a vertical line, since the $x$ is the same for both of them, and it is equal to $5$ both times.

You can then double check your answer by graphing.  If you graph $x=5$, then both points, you can see that they both fall on the line, as shown in the attached graph.
