To find the slope of the line passing through these points, we first need to calculate the difference in the y-coordinates and the x-coordinates.
Difference in y-coordinates: 6 - 1 = 5
Difference in x-coordinates: -9 - (-9) = 0
The slope of a line is given by the formula:
m = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)
Substitute the values into the formula:
m = 5 / 0
Since the denominator is 0, the slope of the line passing through the points -9, 6 and -9, 1 is undefined. This means that the line is vertical and has no slope.

Apologies for the mistake in my previous response. Let's recalculate the slope of the line passing through the points -9, 6 and -9, 1.
Given points: (-9, 6) and (-9, 1)
Difference in y-coordinates: 6 - 1 = 5
Difference in x-coordinates: -9 - (-9) = 0
Now, using the slope formula:
m = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)
m = (1 - 6) / (-9 - (-9))
m = -5 / 0
Since the denominator is 0, the slope is undefined. Apologies for the confusion earlier. Thank you for pointing it out.
