Answer: x=-1

Explanation:

To find the slope, we want to use the formula
m=(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1). We are given the two coordinate points, so we can plug it into the formula.


m=(-5-2)/(-1-(-1))=(-7)/(0)

We cannot divide a number by 0. This gives us an undefined slope. Meaning, there are multiple y-values for the same x-value. Therefore, the equation would be x=-1.
