Question

Find the slope of the line through the points (5,1) and (5,3)

Answer 1

There is no slope or is not defined (undefined slope)

Explanation:

We have that the slope is calculated by means of the following formula:

`m=(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)`

we replace the points (5, 1) and (5, 3)

`m=(3-1)/(5-5)=(2)/(0)=\text{ ind}`

Since the division by zero is an indeterminacy, it means that in reality there is no slope, since there is no inclination
