Hi there!

Explanation:


SLOPE=(Y_2-Y_1)/(X_2-X_1)=(RISE)/(RUN)


(1-1)/((-4)-4)=(0)/(8)=0

Undefined.

Slope is 0.

Final answer is 0.

Hope this helps!

Thanks!

Have a nice day! :)

to find teh slope of a line you put the points in the fraction y2-y1/x2-x1

E.J. 1-1/-4-4 this equals when adding or subtracting 0/-8.

it is not underined because when you divide it it gives you 0 the only way it could be indefined is if the answer could not be divided at all

Hope this helps
