Answer:


m=(-12)/(0)

Explanation:

Given the following question:

Point A = (6, 10) = (x1, y1)
Point B = (6, -2) = (x2, y2)

To find the answer we must use the formula to calculate slope or rise over run.


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

m=(-2-10)/(6-6) =(-12)/(0)

m=(-12)/(0)

The slope of the line that passes through the points (6, 10) and (6, -2) is indeed "m = -12/0."

Hope this helps.
