Answer:

Explanation:

Slope =∆y/∆x

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

Given points (5,-7) and (5,3)

y1=-7. y2 = 3

x1=5 and x2=5

M=(3--7)/(5-5)

M=10/0

M= infinity

This shows that the line is a vertical line parallel to the y axis.

That is at x= 5 y=3

And at x=5 y=-7

Therefore the graph is a vertical graph and has no slope it is 90° to the horizontal..
