Question

(12,7) and (12,-2) slope formula

Answer 1

slope is undefined

Step-by-step explanation:

calculate slope m using the slope formula

m =
`(y_(2)-y_(1) )/(x_(2)-x_(1) )`

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (12, 7 ) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (12, - 2 )

m =
`(-2-7)/(12-12)` =
`(-9)/(0)`

division by zero is undefined thus the slope is undefined

Answer 2

infinity

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for calculating slope is expressed as;

m = y2-y1/x2-x1

Given the coordinates

(12,7) and (12,-2)

m = -2-7/12-12

m = -9/0

m = infinity

This means that the slope of the line passing through the points is infinity
