find the slope of the line through the points (5,1) and (5,3)

Sagot :

ANSWER:

There is no slope or is not defined (undefined slope)

STEP-BY-STEP EXPLANATION:

We have that the slope is calculated by means of the following formula:

[tex]m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}[/tex]

we replace the points (5, 1) and (5, 3)

[tex]m=\frac{3-1}{5-5}=\frac{2}{0}=\text{ ind}[/tex]

Since the division by zero is an indeterminacy, it means that in reality there is no slope, since there is no inclination
