did i do this right ? Write an equation of a line that passes through the points (2,3) and (2,-6). M= 3 - (-6)/ 2 - 2= 9/0

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

You are correct, so what does that lead you to?

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

Any ideas?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no srry ?

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

can you divide by zero?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

so 9/0 is not allowed and not defined

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

so the slope is undefined

OpenStudy (anonymous):
