Question

find the rate of change of the line containing (5,-2) and (5,6)

Answer 1

\[m=\Delta y /\Delta x = y_2-y_1/x_2-x_1\]

Answer 2

My interpration maybe wrong :/

Answer 3

simply find the slope thats the rate of change

Answer 4

That is the formula for the slope.

Answer 5

@Judith5

Can you solve it ?

Answer 6

(x1,y1)=(5,-2)
(x2,y2)=(5,6)

Answer 7

would i divide next or would (5,-2) and (5,6) be my answer?

Answer 8

Well i gave you a formula


m=y2-y1/x2-x1


plug in the values and find your answer

Answer 9

oh ok thank you(:

Answer 10

Your'e welcome :)

Answer 11

The x-value hasn't changed, the slope is undefined. At x=5, y = -2, and also at x=5, y=6

Trying to find the gradient will end like this: m = (6-(-2))/(5-5) = 8/0

Answer 12

The line is a vertical line, x=5.
