Whats the slope of the line that passes through the two point: -5,6 -5,8

Answer 1

The gradient of a line is the change in y divided by the change in x.

The change in y is 2 (8-6) for a change in x of 0 (-5 - -5). Hence the gradient is ²/₀ = infinity (or undefined) which means the line is vertical.

Your line equation is x = -5

Answer 2

Both points have the same x value, so the equation for the line is simply x = -5. The slope is the difference in y value divided by the difference in x value---So

m = (8-6)/ (- 5 -(-5)) = infinity**

When dividing by zero, we often say the answer is undefined.

Answer 3

To find slope, you have to find the change in y and divide by the change in x.

So our first point (x1,y1) is (-5,6)

our second point is (x2,y2) which is (-5,8)

so we use the equation : (y2-y1) / ((x2-x1)

This results in (8-6) / (-5 - (-5)) = the slope
