Answer:

TRUST ME I PUT UNDEFINED AND THATS WRONG BEATCHES

the answer is zero and undefined. because the given is undefined, and to form a square, the 4 angles must be equal to 90, and a perpendicular line to to a line that has an undefined slope is zero, so 2 edges have a zero slope and 2 edges have an undefined sloped. PERIODT

Answer:

Slope is not defined.

Explanation:

If
(x_1,y_1) and
(x_2,y_2) are two points on a line then the slope of the line is given by
(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)

Now find the slope of the side of a square such that two adjacent vertices of a square are A(2, 3) and B(2, 8).

Take
(x_1,y_1)=(2,3)\,,\,(x_2,y_2)=(2,8)

Slope of the line
=(8-3)/(2-2)=(5)/(0)

Here,
(5)/(0) is not defined.

So, slope is not defined.
