[2.03] What is the slope of the line that passes through the points (2, -1) and (2,0)?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

x=2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thankz

OpenStudy (amistre64):

.... sigh

OpenStudy (amistre64):

what does it mean when he says x=2?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

lol idnk but its undefined

OpenStudy (amistre64):

:) undefined is right; x=2 is the equation for the line. The line itself exists, a numerically defined slope for it does not.

OpenStudy (amistre64):

slope is the measure of how far y moves while x moves; in this case, x never moves and y is always moving;

OpenStudy (amistre64):

so the slope is not defined :)
