Question

What is the slope of the line that passes through the points (7, -6) and (6, -6)? Write your answer in simplest form.

Answer 1

Undefined

Solution:

• Notice that the x-coordinates of the points that the line intersects are the same.
• If the x-coordinates are the same, then the slope is undefined.
• If the slope is undefined, then the line's run is equal to 0 units.
• Remember the slope formula:
• Rise/Run
• Rise - how many units we move up or down
• Run - how many units we move left or right
• If the run is zero, then we basically divide by zero, which we can't do.
