slope of line through (3,-1) and (5,-1) = 0
which is a horizontal line
so our new line is a vertical line, thus the slope is undefined
it must pass through (-2,4) and its equation would simply be
x = -2
(A vertical line cannot be expressed in the y = mx + b form, and you should not have been instructed to do so)
