Question

What is the slope of the line that passes through the points (-8,-1) and (-8,11)?

Answer 1

Answer:
`\text{Slope}=\Large\boxed{Unde fined}`

Explanation:

Given information

`(x_1,~y_1)=(-8,~-1)`

`(x_2,~y_2)=(-8,~11)`

Given the formula for the slope

`\text{Slope}=(\Delta y)/(\Delta x)=(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)`

Substitute values into the formula

`\text{Slope}=((11)-(-1))/((-8)-(-8))`

Simplify the numerator and the denominator

`\text{Slope}=(11+1)/(-8+8)`

`\text{Slope}=(12)/(0)`

Simplify the fraction

`\text{Since any number divided by 0 is impossible to find, therefore: }`

`\text{Slope}=\Large\boxed{Unde fined}`
