Question

what is the slope of the line that passes through the points (-6,1) and (-6,-4)? write your answer in the simplest form. ​

Answer 1

Undefined

Explanation:

-4-1/-6+6

Since the bottom adds up to zero and you cannot simplify a fraction with 0 as the denominator, the slope is undefined.

Answer 2

Undefined

Explanation:

Hi student! Let me help you out on this question.

We can find the slope, using the formula.

`\mathrm{\cfrac{y2-y1}{x2-x1}}`.

where:

• #1. x2 and x1 are x-co-ordinates.
• #2. y2 and y1 are y-co-ordinates.

Plugin the values.

`\mathrm{\cfrac{-4-1}{-6-(-6)}}`

↪

Do you see what I see?

To find out, simplify further.

`\mathrm{\cfrac{-3}{-6+6}}`. Simplifying completely results in.

`\mathrm{\cfrac{-3}{0}}`.

We know that we cannot divide by zero.

`\therefore\mathrm{Slope=unde fined}}`. Which is our answer.

Hope that this helped you out! have a good day ahead.
