Question

Item 5 Find the slope of the line through the points (−7, 0) and (−7, −6).

Answer 1

The slope is undefined because it's a vertical line.

Explanation:

The slope of the line passing through the points (x1,y1) = (-7,0) & (x2,y2)=(-7,-6)

Recall the slope of the line equation :

m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

Thus m = (-6-0)/((-7)-(-7)) => (-6)/0 => the slope is undefined because of the 0 in the denominator. It's a vertical line.

When you have a vertical line, your slope is undefined

Answer 2

Hello there!

Explanation:

Lesson: Exploring Slope/ and Slope-intercept form.

Slope formula: →
`(Y^2-Y^1)/(X^2-X^1)=(rise)/(run)`

`((-6)-0=-6)/((-7)-(-7)=-7+7=0)=(-6)/(0)=(-6/0)/(0/0)=0`

So therefore, there are 0 slope.

Answer is 0.

There are undefined.

Hope this helps!

Thanks!

Have a great day! :)
