Question

(5,9), (5-3)
what is the slope?

Answer 1

Hello!!! Princess Sakura here ^^

Explanation:

When you want to find out what the slope is, you have to remember what the formula is first....

`m=(y)/(x) =(y_(2)-y_(1) )/(x_(2)-x_(1) )`

so in this case -3 would be the
`y_(2)` because it's the y in the ordered pair and it's the second one. Then one of the 5's would be
`x_(2)` and 9 would be
`y_(1)` and then the other 5 would be
`x_(1)`.

now if we plug it in

`(-3-9)/(5-5) =(-12)/(0)`

now we can tell that we can't divide by zero so the slope would be unidentified and that's it.
