What is the slope of the line that passes through the points (9, 2) and
(9, 27)? Write your answer in simplest form.

Answer 1

Answer: There is no slope.

Explanation:

First, we use the slope-intercept form to find out the slope. The slope-intercept form formula is : m = y2 - y1 / x2 - x1.

m = (27 - 2) / (9 - 9)

m = 25 / 0

m = undefined

This isn't a positive, nor negative slope, rather a slope called "undefined". (Think of every slope as a hill for your skateboard, if it's easier to remember.) And since the x is 0, x is stagnant, making the y and number that doesn't move from the x-coordinates. So, The entered points belong to a vertical line. There is no slope.

Hope this helps.
