Question

What is the slope of the line that passes through the points(-5,-9) and (-5,-13)? Write your answer in simplest form.

Answer 1

Answer:

slope is undefined

ex. a straight vertical line like x = 2 would have an undefined slope

Step-by-step explanation:

formula is

y2-y1 / x2-x1

-13 + 9 / -5 + 5

-4 / 0

slope is undefined

straight vertical line like x = 2 would have an undefined slope

undefined slope is the slope of any vertical line that goes up or down. There is no horizontal movement and hence the denominator is zero while calculating the slope. Thus the slope of the line is undefined.
