It was easy to check your answer is not correct.
The point (2,3) does not satisfy your equation, neither does (2,-2)
notice that both points have an x value of 2, so you have a vertical line.
The equation of a vertical line has the form x = k, where k is the x of any point on the line. All the x's would have to be the same.
so x = 2 is your equation.
Vertical lines CANNOT be written in the slope-yintercept form, since the slope is undefined.
