m = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)
m = (3 - 1)/(-5 + 5)
m = 2/0
Since division by 0 is undefined, this indicates a vertical line.
The equation for this line is: x = -5.
[Note: By inspection, the x values being equal would indicate a vertical line through x = -5.]

the 2 points have the same x position = -5,
if y takes any value ... x is always -5 (no dependance on y)
then the equation is:
x = -5
