Answer:

The equation is

x = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line is given as:


y=mx+b

Where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

Given the points (5, 2) and (5, -7)

The slope is:


m=(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)=(-7-2)/(5-5)=-(9)/(0)=\infty

The slope is infinite, then the equation is:


x=5
