Question

determine the slope of the line that contains the points g(8,1) & h(8,-6). select one: a. 2 b. 5 c. 0 d. undefined

Answer 1

Answer: d. undefined

Explanation:

We know that the slope of a line passing through two points X(a,b) and Y(c,d) is given by :-

`m=(d-b)/(c-a)`

The given points : g(8,1) & h(8,-6)

Then , the slope of a line passing through two points g(8,1) & h(8,-6) is given by :-

`m=(-6-1)/(8-8)=(-7)/(0)=\infty`

Hence, the slope of the line that contains the points g(8,1) & h(8,-6) is undefined.

Answer 2

Slope, m=
`(change in y)/(change in x)`
slope, m=
`(1--6)/(8-8)`
m= infinite
