Question

Find the slope of the line that passes
through the points (-6, -8) and (-6, 12).

Answer 1

there isn't a slope, because this line isn't even a function, because it is a vertical line... so it doesn't pass the vertical line test...

Explanation:

Answer 2

undefined

Explanation:

the equation for the slope of the line is (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

here are the given points: (-6,-8) and (-6,12)

label the points:

x1=-6

y1=-8

x2=-6

y2=12

now substitute into the equation (m is slope)

m=(12--8)/(-6--6)

m=(12+8)/(-6+6)

m=20/0

m=undefined

the slope is undefined because you cannot divide by 0

Hope this helps!
