The slope of a line is a measure of its steepness. Mathematically, slope is calculated as "rise over run" (change in y divided by change in x).


m = (rise)/(run) = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)

Answer:

undefined

Explanation:

Slope is a measure of the vertical change relative to the horizontal change. On an x-y graph, it will be the difference in y-coordinates divided by the corresponding difference in x-coordinates. It is often referred to using the letter m.

m = (y2 -y1)/(x2 -x1) . . . . . slope of line between points (x1, y1) and (x2, y2)

It does not matter which points you call point 1 and point 2.

__

For the points given on the graph we can compute the slope to be ...

m = (2 -(-3))/(-1 -(-1)) = 5/0

The zero in the denominator makes this value "undefined." So, we say the slope of any vertical line is "undefined."
