Answer:

This is not a function, so we can not find the equation of this line.

Explanation:

The two points form equation of a line is given by:


y-y_(1)=m(x-x_(1))

Where:

  • y(1) is the y value of the first point
  • x(1) is the x value of the first point
  • m is the slope

The first point is (3,-4) and the second point is (3,8)

Let's first find the slope. The equation of m is given by:


m=(y_(2)-y_(1))/(x_(2)-x_(1))


m=(8-(-4))/(3-3)

Here the slope is not defined, so we can not find the equation of this line, because it is not a function.

I hope it helps you!
