Question

Find the slope of the line containing the points ( 3, - 2 ) and ( 3, 4 ).

Answer 1

The answer is:

undefined

Work/explanation:

We can use the slope formula to find the slope, but we notice something - the x co-ordinates of both points are identical. Whenever this phenomenon occurs, we understand that the line that passes through the points is vertical. That means its run is 0 (remember that Slope : rise/run) so whatever the rise is, we'll just have rise/0, which is an operation that cannot be done. So in this case, the slope's undefined.

Hence, the slope of the line which passes through (3,-2) and (3,4) is undefined.

Answer 2

Answer:The slope of a line is its vertical change divided by its horizontal change, also known as rise over run. When you have 2 points on a line on a graph the slope is the change in y divided by the change in x. The slope of a line is a measure of how steep it is.
