Determine the slope and show work.

Question

Determine the slope of the line through the points (6,-2) and (6,2) show work 

Answer 1

Slope is the difference in Y coordinate of 2 points over the difference of X coordinate of the same points.

 

  Work shown is as follows: Use the definition:

 

 ( 6 , -2 )    ( 6, 2)

 

        2 - ( -2) = 4   →undefined

       6 -  6        0

 

          The equation of line is   X =6

 

           Vertical line parallel to Vertical ( Y - axis).       

Answer 2

Hello, thank you for taking the time to post your question!

The formula that you want to use to compute slope is

m = (y2 – y1) / (x2 – x1)

for this set of points that becomes

m = (2 - -2) / (6 – 6) = 4 / 0

since it’s not possible to divide by 0 that means that the slope of the line is undefined

I hope that helps you get moving in a better direction on this type of question! Feel free to reach out if you have any additional questions beyond that :)
