Question

How do you find the slope given (–3, –4) and (–3, 3)?

Answer 1

The slope is infinite. In other words, the two points form a vertical line.

Explanation:

The slope given two points on a Cartesian Plane, `(x_1,y_1)` and `(x_2,y_2)` is `(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)`

Hence, slope given two points `(-3,-4)` and `(-3,3)` should be

`(3-(-4))/((-3)-(-3))` or `(3+4)/(-3+3)=7/0=oo`

Hence the slope is infinite. In other words the two points form a vertical line.
