Question

Calculate the slope of the line passing through points (-3, 4) and (-3,-7)

Answer 1

Answer:

slope is undefined

Step-by-step explanation:

Calculate the slope m using the slope formula

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

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (- 3, 4 ) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (- 3, - 7 )

m = $\frac{-7-4}{-3+3}$ = $\frac{-11}{0}$

Since division by zero is undefined then the slope is undefined

This indicates the line is vertical and parallel to the y- axis
