Question

Slope of the line that passes through (-3, -2) and (-3, 6), please!

Answer 1

slope is undefined

Explanation:

Calculate the slope m using the slope formula

m =
`(y_(2)-y_(1) )/(x_(2)-x_(1) )`

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (- 3, - 2) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (- 3, 6)

m =
`(6+2)/(-3+3)` =
`(8)/(0)`

Since division by zero is undefined then the slope is undefined

Answer 2

Explanation:

(x1, y1) = (-3, -2) ; (x2,y2) = (-3,6)

`Slope = (y_(2)-y_(1))/(x_(2)-x_(1))\\\\=(6-[-2])/(-3-[-3])\\\\=(6+2)/(-3+3)\\\\=(8)/(0)`

= undefined

Slope is undefined and the line is parallel to y axis
