Question

What is the slope of the line that passes through the ordered pairs (-5,-1) and (-5, -7)

Answer 1

Answer:

undefined

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation for slope is:

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

We can plug in the given coordinates into the equation:

$\frac{-7-(-1)}{-5-(-5)} =\frac{-7+1}{-5+5} =\frac{-6}{0}$

The slope is undefined

Answer 2

Answer:

infinite

Step-by-step explanation:

slope = deltaY / deltaX

and the deltaX is 0 here.
