I need to find the slope of 7,1 and 7,-5

The slope is given by the formula:


m=(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

Where (x1,y1) and (x2,y2) are the coordinates of two points on the line.

We have (7,1) and (7,-5). Let's replace these values and find m:


m=(-5-1)/(7-7)=(-6)/(0)=\text{ undefined}

The slope is undefined, which means it is a vertical line at x=7.
