Question #03596

Answer 1

Undefined.

Explanation:

From the above graph:
If you were to take 2 arbitrary points on the line and determine the slope, the following would be the result;

`Slope (m) = (y_2 - y_1)/(x_2 - x_1)`

Taking coordinates (1,1) and (1,2), we get:

`m = (2-1)/(1-1) = 1/0`
Since, anything divided by zero equals Undefined.

Therefore, the Slope(m) of the line is Undefined.

Answer 2

Undefined.

Explanation:

Even though it may seem irrelevant to the question, I will explain why the slop is undefined.

Here is one of the many reasons.
If `1/0` is infinity, then we can say that `2/0` is also infinity.(By the way, infinity is only a quantity, not a number)

By our rule that if `a/b=c/b` then `a=c`, it results this:`1=2` which we know is not true.

Therefore, the line is undefined.
