Answer:

0,-12

Explanation:

you would put the two x quardinates and subtract them and then do the same for the y quardinates so

5-5 =0

-9-3=-12 so ur answer is 0, -12

Answer:

Undefined

Explanation:

$gradient \:of \: a \: line = (y1 - y2)/(x1 - x2)$

Using the above formula,

Slope between the 2 points

$= (3 - ( - 9))/(5 - 5) \\ = (12)/(0) \\ (undefined)$

The 2 points have the same x-coordinate, thus if I draw a line joining these 2 points, I will get a vertical line at x=5.

Vertical lines have an undefined slope.
