The slope of a line perpendicular to A (-4, 2) and B(4, 2) is: is it -8/0? isnt that undefined?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

It is undefined but the numerator is not -8.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so i know it'd be a vertical line.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[m=\frac{2+2}{4+(-4)}\] \[m=\frac{4}{0}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes it is a vertical line but where...?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[m=\frac{y-y1}{x-x1}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

um. i thought slope was y2-y1/x2-x1

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so it would be 0/8 with is 0
