Find the slope of the line passing through the points (-3,5) and (-3,-7)? can anyone help me

Sagot :

Answer:  Slope = Undefined

===========================================

Explanation:

Let's apply the slope formula

m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

m = (-7-(-3))/(-3-(-3))

m = (-7+3)/(-3+3)

m = -4/0

We run into trouble because 0 is in the denominator. We cannot divide by zero. This is why the slope is undefined.

The two points (-3,5) and (-3,-7) form a vertical line when you draw a line through them. All vertical lines have an undefined slope.

Put another way: the x coordinates of both points are the same (both are -3), so when we subtract those x coordinates, we end up with 0 in the denominator that leads to an undefined slope.
