Find the slope of 5;0 and 5;9

Question

A. -9
B. -4 1/2
C. 9
D. -1/9

Answer 1

The slope of a line passing through two points can be found using the formula:

slope = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)

In this case, the two points are (5, 0) and (5, 9).

x1 = 5, y1 = 0
x2 = 5, y2 = 9

Plugging these values into the slope formula:

slope = (9 - 0) / (5 - 5)
slope = 9 / 0

The denominator is zero, which means the slope is undefined.

Therefore, none of the given options (A. -9, B. -4 1/2, C. 9, D. -1/9) are correct.
