Question

What is the slope of the line that passes through the points (1,−7) and (1,13)? Write your answer in simplest form.

Answer 1

Explanation

We are to find the slope of the line that passes through the points (1,−7) and (1,13)

To do so, we will use the formula

$slope=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}^$

where

$\begin{gathered} x_1=1 \\ y_1=-7 \\ x_2=1 \\ y_2=13 \end{gathered}$

Therefore, the slope will be

$\begin{gathered} slope=\frac{13-(-7)}{1-1}=\frac{13+7}{0}=\frac{20}{0} \\ \\ slope=\frac{20}{0} \end{gathered}$

Since the denominator is 0, the slope is undefined

The answer is undefined
