Answer:

x_2=x_1

Step-by-step explanation:

We were given the slope formula;

m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}

This line is vertical if the denominator is zero.

That is when x_2-x-1=0

This implies that;

x_2=x_1

Justification;

When x_2=x_1, then, the line passes through;

(x_1,y_1)  and (x_1,y_2)

The slope now become

m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_1-x_1}=\frac{y_2-y_1}{0}

The equation of the line is

y-y_1=\frac{y_2-y_1}{0}(x-x_1)

This implies that;

0(y-y_1)=(y_2-y_1)(x-x_1)

0=(y_2-y_1)(x-x_1)

\frac{0}{y_2-y_1}=(x-x_1)

0=(x-x_1)

x=x_1... This is the equation of a vertical line.
