Question

What is the slope (17, −13), (17, 8)

Answer 1

Undefined

Explanation:

The equation for slope is
`(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)`.

In this scenario:

`y_2=8`

`y_1=-13`

`x_2=17`

`x_1=17`

Substitute the Values into the Equation

`m=(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)=(8-(-13))/(17-17)=(21)/(0)`

The slope is undefined, which means it is a vertical line.
