Question

What is the slope of the line that passes through (-5,0) and (-5,5)

Answer 1

m=undefined

Explanation:

the formula for slope (m) is (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

here are the given points: (-5,0) and (-5,5)

we can label the points:

x1=-5

y1=0

x2=-5

y2=5

now substitute into the equation

m=(5-0)/(-5--5)

m=(5-0)/(-5+5)

m=5/0

m=undefined

the slope is undefined, because you cannot divide by 0
