Answer:

x=5

Explanation:

First, find the slope. This is your expression: -8-5/5-5. -8-5= -13, and 5-5 = 0. So, your slope would be -13/0. Since the denominator is a 0, the slope is undefined. That means it's a vertical line. Because it's a vertical line, your equation would just be x=5. Hope this helps!
