Question

A line passes through the points (7, 10) and (7, 20). Which statement is true about the line? It has a slope of zero because x 2 minus x 1 in the formula m = StartFraction y 2 minus y 1 Over x 2 minus x 1 EndFraction is zero, and the numerator of a fraction cannot be zero. It has a slope of zero because x 2 minus x 1 in the formula m = StartFraction y 2 minus y 1 Over x 2 minus x 1 EndFraction is zero, and the denominator of a fraction cannot be zero. It has no slope because x 2 minus x 1 in the formula m = StartFraction y 2 minus y 1 Over x 2 minus x 1 EndFraction is zero, and the numerator of a fraction cannot be zero. It has no slope because x 2 minus x 1 in the formula m = StartFraction y 2 minus y 1 Over x 2 minus x 1 EndFraction is zero, and the denominator of a fraction cannot be zero.

Answer 1

D;

Explanation:

It has no slope because x 2 minus x 1 in the formula m = StartFraction y 2 minus y 1 Over x 2 minus x 1 EndFraction is zero, and the denominator of a fraction cannot be zero.

Answer 2

It has no slope because x 2 minus x 1 in the formula m = StartFraction y 2 minus y 1 Over x 2 minus x 1 EndFraction is zero, and the denominator of a fraction cannot be zero.

Explanation:

Points:

• (7, 10) and (7, 20)

Slope-intercept form:

• y= mx+b

slope is:

• m= (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)= (20-10)/(7-7)= 10/0,

denominator of the fraction is zero, we can't divide by zero, so this line has no slope

----------

It has a slope of zero because x 2 minus x 1 in the formula m = StartFraction y 2 minus y 1 Over x 2 minus x 1 EndFraction is zero, and the numerator of a fraction cannot be zero.

• no, numerator is not zero

It has a slope of zero because x 2 minus x 1 in the formula m = StartFraction y 2 minus y 1 Over x 2 minus x 1 EndFraction is zero, and the denominator of a fraction cannot be zero.

• no, it has no slope

It has no slope because x 2 minus x 1 in the formula m = StartFraction y 2 minus y 1 Over x 2 minus x 1 EndFraction is zero, and the numerator of a fraction cannot be zero.

• no, numerator is not zero

It has no slope because x 2 minus x 1 in the formula m = StartFraction y 2 minus y 1 Over x 2 minus x 1 EndFraction is zero, and the denominator of a fraction cannot be zero.

• yes
