Question

what is the slope of the line that passes through the points (-8,6) and (-8,2) in simplest form ​

Answer 1

Answer: Undefined, or 0

Step-by-step explanation:

    We will use the formula for slope. Let (-8, 6) be point 1 and (-8, 2) be point 2.

$\displaystyle \frac{y_{2} -y_{1} }{x_{2} -x_{1} }$

$\displaystyle \frac{2-6 }{-8--8}$

$\displaystyle \frac{2-6 }{-8+8}$

$\displaystyle \frac{-4 }{0}$

  You cannot divide by 0. This means the line is straight up/down, or vertical, and has an undefined slope.
