Question

Calculate the slope of a line passing through the given points (5,-2) and (5,-3)

Answer 1

Given the points (5,-2) and (5,-3), we can find the slope of the line that passes through them with the following formula:

`\begin{gathered} m=(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1) \\ \Rightarrow m=(-3-(-2))/(5-5)=(-1)/(0) \end{gathered}`

since we have that the slope is not defined, the line that passes through the points (5,-2) and (5,-3) is the vertical line x=5
