Answer:

Slope = undefined.

Explanation:

Given two points:

  • (2,3) & (2,9)

To Find:

  • The slope

Solution:

Using slope's formulae,

[m denotes slope]


\boxed{ \rm{m = \cfrac{y_2 -y_1 }{x_2 - x_1} }}

According to the question,here:

  • (y_2,y_1) = (9,3)
  • (x_2,x_1) = (2,2)

Substitute them onto the formulae:


\rm \: m = \cfrac{9 - 3}{2 - 2}

Simplify.


\rm \: m = \cfrac{6}{2 - 2}


\rm \: m = \cfrac{6}{0} = \boxed{ \rm \: undefined}

if an expression contains division by 0 , then It's undefined.

So, slope(m) = undefined.
