Question

Find the slope of the line passing through the points (9,5) and (9,-4).

Answer 1

Explanation:

Equation in which to find the slope:

(slope)
`m = (y_2 - y_1)/(x_2 - x_1)`

Let:

`(x_1 , y_1) = (9 , -4)\\(x_2 , y_2) = (9 , 5)`

Plug in the corresponding numbers to the corresponding variables:

`m = (5 - (-4))/(9 - 9)`

Simplify. First solve the numerator and denominators, then divide:

`m = (5 - (-4))/( 9 - 9) \\m = (5 + 4)/(9 - 9) \\m = (9)/(0)`

Because a fraction cannot be out of 0, your answer will be .
