Question

Find the slope of the line passing through the points (-4, 5) and (-4,-2).

Answer 1

Finding the Slope of a Vertical Line

We can identify vertical lines by seeing if two points that fall on the line have the same x-coordinate.

If they do, then it is a vertical line.

The slope of vertical lines are always undefined.

Solving the Question

We're given the following points:

• (-4, 5) and (-4,-2)

These points have the same x-coordinate, revealing that this is a vertical line. Therefore, it has an undefined slope.

Answer

Undefined
