In order to find the slope, we have the formula is

The change of Y (Also Y minus each other)

----------------------------------------------------------------- Over (As fraction

The change of X (Also X minus each other)

Now the first point is (1,10) The Y is 10

The X is 1

Now the Second Point is (1,-8) The Y is -8

The X is 1

So now we plug the numbers in

10-(-8)

--------- which is equal to 18/0

1-1

A quick tip is that you CAN'T divide by zero

Therefore the answer is unidentified, but now you know how to solve for slopes

Answer:

undefined - you can't divide by 0!

Explanation:

m =
(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

m =
(10-(-8))/(1-1)

m = 18/0
