Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Step 1: Define</u>
Point (5, 5)
Point (5, -8)
<u>Step 2: Identify</u>
(5, 5) → x₁ = 5, y₁ = 5
(5, -8) → x₂ = 5, y₂ = -8
<u>Step 3: Find slope </u><em><u>m</u></em>
Simply plug in the 2 coordinates into the slope formula to find slope <em>m</em>
- Substitute in points [Slope Formula]:
- [Slope] Subtract:
Here we see that we have a number divided by 0. Since we know that we cannot divide any number by 0, our slope will be undefined. This will be a vertical line on a Cartesian plane of x = 5.
