Question

Find the slope of the line that passes through the pair of points. F(–6, 8), P(–6, –5)

Answer 1

slope is undefined

Explanation:

Calculate the slope m using the slope formula

m = ( y₂ - y₁ ) / ( x₂ - x₁ )

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (- 6, 8) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (- 6, - 5)

m =
`(-5-8)/(-6+6)` =
`(-13)/(0)`

division by zero is undefined, hence slope is undefined
