PLEASE ANSWER ASAP!!!

line g has and undefined slope. If line k contains the point (-6,3) and is parallel to line g, what are the x-coordinates of the other points that lie on the line?

Answer:

-6 is the x-coordinate value

Explanation:

Mathematically, slope can be calculated as;

m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

For the value of the slope to be undefined, it means that we are actually dividing by zero

For us to be dividing by zero, it actually means that there is no change in the x-value

The unchanging x-value is what has caused us to have an undefined slope value

Since line k and line g are parallel, their slopes are equal and the slope of k is undefined too

So the x-coordinates of the other points that lie on the line that we used in calculating the slope is -6
