Answer:

The equation of the line is y = 2

Explanation:

To find this, first start by using the slope formula to find the slope.

m(slope) = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)

m = (2 - 2)/(5 - 1)

m = 0/4

m = 0

Now that we have the slope of 0, we can use point-slope form to find the equation.

y - y1 = m(x - x1)

y - 2 = 0(x - 1)

y - 2 = 0

y = 2
