Question

Given 2 points, find the slope using the slope formula (6,2) and (6,-5)

Answer 1

Do I have to use the slope formula?

Answer 2

Yess.

Answer 3

I'm not a big fan of slope formulas, but I can tell you that what ever the slope is, it will not be positive or negative since both x values are the same.

Answer 4

\[m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}\]Since the x coordinates cancel out to 0, the slope must be undefined.

Answer 5

Thank you. :)

Answer 6

you're welcome :)

Answer 7

Division by zero is undefined....it's an indefinite form.

Answer 8

A horizontal line would have 0 slope...a vertical line would have an undefined slope.

Answer 9

Bah, I'm speaking too fast. I concur with Shane_B

Answer 10

Whew...I didn't want to argue with you :)

Answer 11

Haha, nice guys.

Answer 12

No, that would be silly. I would never argue when I was wrong. It was a slight oversight. I lost track of the x and y coordinates.
