There are two ways to approach this.

Option #1:

Use the slope formula $m = \dfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$ .

$m= \dfrac{6-(-5)}{11-11} = \dfrac{11}{0}$

That value is undefined, so the slope is undefined.

Option #2:

Because the two points have the same x-value, they will be vertically above/below one another. This means your line is a vertical line and the slope of a vertical line is undefined.

Either way, your slope is undefined.

The population of Ohio will be 10 million in the year 1970

The population growth of Ohio is represented by the function:

$P(t)=\frac{12.79}{1+2.402e^{-}0.0309t}$

P is the population in millions

t is the number of years since 1900

To find the year that the population of Ohio will be 10 million, substitute P = 10 into the function P(t) and solve for t

$10=\frac{12.79}{1+2.402e^{-}0.0309t}\\\\10(1+2.402e^{-}0.0309t)=12.79\\\\1+2.402e^{-}0.0309t=\frac{12.79}{10} \\\\1+2.402e^{-}0.0309t=1.279\\\\2.402e^{-}0.0309t=1.279-1\\\\2.402e^{-}0.0309t = 0.279\\\\e^{-}0.0309t =\frac{0.279}{2.402} \\\\e^{-}0.0309t =0.116\\\\-0.0309t=ln0.116\\\\-0.0309t=-2.154\\\\t=\frac{-2.154}{-0.0309} \\\\t=69.7$
