Question

What is the slope of the line that passes through the points (1,−7) and (1,13)? Write your answer in simplest form.

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation

We are to find the slope of the line that passes through the points (1,−7) and (1,13)

To do so, we will use the formula

`slope=(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)^`

where

`\begin{gathered} x_1=1 \\ y_1=-7 \\ x_2=1 \\ y_2=13 \end{gathered}`

Therefore, the slope will be

`\begin{gathered} slope=(13-(-7))/(1-1)=(13+7)/(0)=(20)/(0) \\ \\ slope=(20)/(0) \end{gathered}`

Since the denominator is 0, the slope is undefined

The answer is undefined
