Question

Use the slope formula to fine the slope between the given two points (5,3) and (5,-9)

Answer 1

Answer:

0,-12

Step-by-step explanation:

you would put the two x quardinates and subtract them and then do the same for the y quardinates so

5-5 =0

-9-3=-12 so ur answer is 0, -12

Answer 2

Answer:

Undefined

Step-by-step explanation:

$gradient \:of \: a \: line = \frac{y1 - y2}{x1 - x2}$

Using the above formula,

Slope between the 2 points

$= \frac{3 - ( - 9)}{5 - 5} \\ = \frac{12}{0} \\ (undefined)$

The 2 points have the same x-coordinate, thus if I draw a line joining these 2 points, I will get a vertical line at x=5.

Vertical lines have an undefined slope.
