Question

How do you find the slope of a line passing through points (-6,3) and (-6,39)?

Answer 1

No Slope

Explanation:

The formula for the slope of a line based upon two coordinate points is

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

For the coordinate points `(-6,3) and (-6,39)`
`x_1 = -6`
`x_2 = -6`
`y_1 = 3`
`y_2 = 39`

`m = (39-3)/(-6-(-6))`
`m = 36/0`
Because the denominator of the slope is 0 this means there is no run and therefore no slope.
