Question

What is the slope of this line?
3,2 3,-2

Answer 1

To find the slope of a line given two points, you can use the formula for slope (m):

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

Given the points \( (3, 2) \) and \( (3, -2) \):

- \( (x_1, y_1) = (3, 2) \)
- \( (x_2, y_2) = (3, -2) \)

Now, substitute the values into the slope formula:

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

This simplifies to:

\[
m = \frac{-4}{0}
\]

Since division by zero is undefined, this means the slope of the line is undefined.

Thus, the line is vertical.
