Answer:

The slope of the line that passes through (-7, 1.3) and (-7, 14.2) is undefined.

Explanation:

Given the points

  • (-7, 1.3)
  • (-7, 14.2)

Finding the slope between (-7, 1.3) and (-7, 14.2):

It is clear that the value of x-coordinate remains the same, no matter what is the value of y is.

In other words, the given line is vertical.

i.e. [x₂ - x₁] = -7 - (-7) = -7+7 = 0

We know that the slope of a vertical line is undefined.

i.e.

Using the slope formula

Slope = [14.2 - 1.3] / [0]

Hence, the slope of the line that passes through (-7, 1.3) and (-7, 14.2) is undefined.
