Question

Find the slope of the line passing through the points (9, 1) and (9,-4).

Answer 1

slope is undefined

Explanation:

(9, 1 ) and (9, - 4 )

Since the x- coordinates of the 2 points are 9, then the line is vertical and parallel to the y- axis with slope being undefined.

Answer 2

Slope is the change in y over the change in x.

Slope = (-4 - 1) / (9 -9) = -5/0 you cannot divide by 0,so the slope is undefined. This means it is a vertical line
