Answer:
undefined
The problem:
Find the slope for the line going through (3,4) and (3,-4).
Step-by-step explanation:
Line up points vertically and subtract.
Then put 2nd difference over 1st.
( 3 , 4)
-(3 , -4)
------------
0 8
So the slope would have been 8/0 but this is undefined.
So the slope is undefined.
Also notice the x's are the same and the y's are difference so this is a vertical line. There is only rise in a vertical line and no run. Recall, slope is rise/run. You cannot divide by 0 so this is why we say the slope is undefined when the x's are always the same no matter the y.
Answer:
y = 2/3x -5

Answer:
either of Step 3 or Step 4
Step-by-step explanation:
At Step 3, -1 is added to both sides of the equation. Technically, this is correct (not an error), but it does not lead to a solution to the equation (so, could be considered to be an error). Adding +1 to both sides of the equation would lead more directly to a solution.
__
At Step 4, x -1 -1 is simplified to x. This is an error, as the correct simplification is x-2, so the equation after this step should read x-2 = 5. If Step 3 had been executed by adding +1 to both sides of the equation, then the simplification here would be x=7.

Answering "why" someone does something is always tricky. One can project one's own interpretation onto the actions of others, but one never really knows whether that is accurate or not.
The "why" in this case could go back to the motivation of the problem's author, which may be to see if the student can recognize that the opposite of -1 is +1, or that the sum -1-1 is not zero.
___
My guess is that Step 3 is considered to be the erroneous step, and that choosing Step 4 will get you into a losing argument with your grader.
Answer: May you please have answer choices. Please forgive me if I am being rude but I am not.
