Find the slope of the line passing through the points -9, 6 and -9, 1.

3 answers

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.
You sure?
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.
