Question

❗️5 points❗️

4. State the slope of the line.
A. 1
B. 0
C. undefined
D. -4

Answer 1

C. undefined.

Explanation:

Find the slope of the line, using the following equation:

m = (y₂ - y₁)/(x₂ - x₁)

Find two points that are located on the line.

Let:

(x₁ , y₁) = (-4 , 0)

(x₂ , y₂) = (-4 , 1)

Plug in the corresponding numbers into the corresponding variables.

m = (1 - 0)/(-4 - (-4))

Note that when you have two negative signs directly next to each other, it becomes an addition:

m = (1)/(-4 + 4) = 1/0

You cannot have a slope of rise 1, run 0, so your answer is undefined.

C. undefined.
