Question 1)

Answer:

The slope between (-5, -20) and (9, 9) is:


m=(29)/(14)

Explanation

Given the points

  • (-5, -20)
  • (9, 9)

Finding the slope between (-5, -20) and (9, 9)


\mathrm{Slope}=(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)


\left(x_1,\:y_1\right)=\left(-5,\:-20\right),\:\left(x_2,\:y_2\right)=\left(9,\:9\right)


m=(9-\left(-20\right))/(9-\left(-5\right))

Refine


m=(29)/(14)

Therefore, the slope between (-5, -20) and (9, 9) is:


m=(29)/(14)

Question 2

Answer:

the slope between (18, -5) and (18, 20) is undefined.

Explanation

Given the points

  • (18, -5)
  • (18, 20)

As the x-values of the points are the same. It indicates that the given line is vertical.

Finding the slope between (18, -5) and (18, 20)

Slope = m = [y₂ - y₁] / [x₂ - x₁]

= [20 - (-5)] / [18 - 18]

= [20+5] / [0]

= 25/0

= ∞ or undefined

Thus, the slope between (18, -5) and (18, 20) is undefined. It indicates that the line is vertical.

Hence, the slope between (18, -5) and (18, 20) is undefined.
