Question

Find the slope of a line through (4, 5) and (4, -5). Determine if the line is vertical, horizontal, or neither.

Answer 1

Answer:

Vertical

Slope cannot be determined

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the slope, we are going to use the slope equation as follows

m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

(x1,y1) = (4,5)

(x2,y2) = (4,-5)

m = (-5-5)/(4-4)

This gives an undefined answer and thus we cannot hate the slope value

Looking at the x-axis coordinates, we can see that the difference is just the y axis coordinates and as such we can confirm that the line is vertical
