Question

marcus plots the point (4,7) in quadrant i on the coordinate plane . nicole then plots the points (4,-3) in quadrant Iv of the same graph. explain what the line that goes through those two points would look like and evaluate the slope

Answer 1

The points have the same x-coordinates.

The line would be vertical.

The line has no slope.

The run = 0, which would create an undefined fraction.

Answer 2

Vertical line at x=4

Slope = Undefined or no slope

Explanation:

Let

`(x_1,y_1) = (4,7)\\(x_2,y_2)=(4,-3)`

We can observe that the x-coordinates of both the points are same which means that the line will be a vertical line parallel to y-axis at x=4.

The run of the graph is zero for a vertical line, which is the denominator in the slope formula so the line will have no slope ..
