Answer:
<em> or 10.8627805 </em>
Step-by-step explanation:
Start by taking the difference of each value of both points
<u>Find the difference in x values </u>
78-2 = 76
<u>Find the difference in y values</u>
46-4 = 42
<u>Add the two differences </u>
76+42=118
<u>Take the square root of this value </u>

Answer: 19.1842
Step-by-step explanation:
The formula of a slope:

We have the points (1, 4) and (1, -3). Substitute:

DIVISION BY ZERO!!!
Answer: The slope is undefined.
It's a vertical line x = 1.
Understanding perpendicular and parallel lines are extremely important, especially in the engineering field when building infrastructures or houses because they need to calculate how they will keep a building stable. For example, bridges we see have a lot of perpendicular and parallel lines, that's because without those the bridge can't hold itself up, it needs support from the metals that are parallel and perpendicular.
hope this helps!!
