What is the slope of the line? You must answer with a fraction. Do not answer with a decimal.

The y point is plotted at 0,3 and the x point is plotted at 0,2. The line is slanted to the right.

To find the slope of the line, we use the formula for slope (m):

\[ m = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1} \]

In your case, the points given are as follows:

  • Point 1 (x₁, y₁) = (0, 3)
  • Point 2 (x₂, y₂) = (0, 2)

Now, substituting these values into the slope formula, we have:

\[ m = \frac{2 - 3}{0 - 0} = \frac{-1}{0} \]

Since the denominator is 0, this indicates a vertical line. Therefore, the slope is undefined.

If you meant to provide two different x-coordinate points where the x coordinates are not both zero, please clarify the points, and I can help you calculate the slope accordingly.
