Question

what is the slope of the line that contains the point -6,-7 and -6,2

Answer 1

We know that coordinates are labeled (x,y)
The formula to find slope is (Y2-Y1)/(X2-X1)
So (2- (-7))/(-6-(-6) undefined because the denominator is zero. The line looks like a vertical line at x=-6

Answer 2

Answer:

Slope is undefined.

Step-by-step explanation:

slope is defined as the steepness of a line.It is also called gradient.

It is denoted by m.

It is ratio of change in y to change in x.

m=Δy/Δx=$y_{2} -y_{1} /x_{2} -x_{1}$

From question statement, we observe that

$x_{1} =-6,y_{1} =-7$

$x_{2} =-6,y_{2} =2$

putting above values in formula to find slope,we get

m=2-(-7)/-6-(-6)

m=2+7/-6+6

m=5/0= undefined.

The slope of vertical line is undefined.
