Question

Find the slope of the slope of a line passing through (-4,7)(-4,1)

Answer 1

m = undefined

Explanation:

Slope = rise/run or (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)

Points (-4,7) (-4,1)

We see the y decrease by 6 and the x stay the same, so the slope is

m = undefined

Answer 2

`\pmb{Question}`

Find the slope of a line passing through (-4,7) (-4,1).

`\pmb{Answer}`

Not Defined

`\pmb{Formula}`

`\sf{m=(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)}`

`\pmb{Where}`

• m = slope
• (x₁,y₁) and (x₂, y₂) are two points on the line

`\pmb{Plug\:in\:the\:data}`

`\sf{m=(1-7)/(-4-(-4))}`

`\sf{m=(-6)/(-4+4)}`

`\sf{m=-(6)/(0)}`

`\sf{Slope=Not\;De fined}`

∴ the slope is undefined

`\rule{350}{3}`
