(5,9), (5-3) what is the slope?

Answer 1

Hello!!! Princess Sakura here ^^

Step-by-step explanation:

When you want to find out what the slope is, you have to remember what the formula is first....

$m=\frac{y}{x} =\frac{y_{2}-y_{1} }{x_{2}-x_{1} }$

so in this case -3 would be the $y_{2}$ because it's the y in the ordered pair and it's the second one. Then one of the 5's would be $x_{2}$ and 9 would be $y_{1}$ and then the other 5 would be $x_{1}$.

now if we plug it in

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

now we can tell that we can't divide by zero so the slope would be unidentified and that's it.
