Question

Find the slope of the line passing through the points (6,6) and (6, -7).
slope: 1

Answer 1

The line is a vertical line, which does not have a slope.

Explanation:

Slope of a line:

Suppose we are given two points in the format (x,y) of a line. The slope is given by the change in y divided by the change in x.

(6,6) and (6, -7).

Change in y: -7 - 6 = -13

Change in x: 6 - 6 = 0

Slope is a division by 0, which means that the line is a vertical line, which does not have a slope.
