    Find slope of the line which is y1-y2/x1 -x2

    =-10/0 Slope does not exist. Which means this is a vertical line. As you saw, going to infinity.

    The equation of the line is x=4.

    ok so find ur slope

    6-4

    4+4

    2

    8 so slope =1/4

    y+4=1/4(x-4)

    y+4=1/4x-1

    y=1/4x-5

    -1/4x+y=-5

    x+4y=-20

    thats ur answer =)

    Source(s): algebra too =)
