(-11,7) and (-11, -2)

Answer 1

Hi there!

»»————-　★　————-««

I believe your answer is:

Undefined Slope

»»————-　★　————-««

Here’s why:

⸻⸻⸻⸻

`\boxed{\text{Recall the Slope Formula:}}\\\\(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)\\\\-----------------\\m=(-2-7)/(-11-(-11))=(-9)/(0)\\\\`

⸻⸻⸻⸻

The slope is undefined. You cannot divide by zero.

Hope this helps you. I apologize if it’s incorrect.

Answer 2

undefined

Explanation:

Given two points, we can use the slope formula

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

= ( -2 -7)/(-11 - -11)

= (-2-7)/(-1+11)

= -9/0

Dividing by zero give an undefined answer
