Final answer:

The equation for the line passing through (-1,3) and (-1,1) is a vertical line represented in standard form as x = -1.

Step-by-step explanation:

The student seems to be asking for the standard form of the equation of a line passing through the points (-1,3) and (-1,1). The standard form of a line equation is Ax + By = C, where A, B, and C are integers.

To find the standard form, one method would be to use the slope-intercept form (y = mx + b) and then convert it to standard form.

However, in this scenario, we immediately observe that the x-values of the given points are the same, which suggests this is a vertical line.

For a vertical line, the equation does not have a slope-intercept form but rather has the equation x = k where k is the constant x-value for all points on the line. Therefore, the equation of the line through the given points in standard form is simply x = -1.
