Question

A vertical line contains the points 3,2 and 3,6 use these points and the formula for slope to explain why a vertical lines slope is undefined

Answer 1

Answer:

see explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Calculate the slope m using the slope formula

m = (y₂ - y₁ ) / (x₂ - x₁ )

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (3, 2) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (3, 6)

m = $\frac{6-2}{3-3}$ = $\frac{4}{0}$

Since division by zero is undefined then the slope of the vertical line is undefined.
