200 per month for 5 years = 12,000
Phil can (at most) pay 12,000 for the car loan.
That would be the payment total.
So, how do we solve for the PRINCIPAL?
Looking at the attached formula, we see the
principal = Total - Total * ((1 +r)^-n) / r * n
where n = # of payments = 5 year * 12 months = 60 and
rate / 1.200 = 7.5/1,200 = .00625
principal = [12,000 - 12,000 * (1.00625)^-60] / .375
principal = [12,000 - 12,000 * <span> <span> <span> 0.6880918239 </span> </span> </span> ] / .375
principal = [12,000 - <span> <span> <span> 8,257.1018863488] / .375
</span></span></span>principal = <span> <span> <span> 3,742.</span></span></span>90 / .375
principal = 9,981.06

There are two ways to approach this.
Option #1:
Use the slope formula .
That value is undefined, so the slope is undefined.
Option #2:
Because the two points have the same x-value, they will be vertically above/below one another. This means your line is a vertical line and the slope of a vertical line is undefined.
Either way, your slope is undefined.
