Same type of question as before...let me see your work.

A(−2, 7), B(−2, −2)
first find the slope
remember parallel lines have the same slope :)

anonymous · Answer

its -2.. right?

anonymous · Answer

NO, it is (-2-7)/(-2 - -2) = -9/0 which is undefined slope

shamil98 · Answer

A(−2, 7), B(−2, −2)?  (1 point)
-2 -(-2) / -2 - 7 
= -2 + 2 / -2- 7
= 0 / -9
= 0

It is not undefined @Easyaspi314 
...

anonymous · Answer

Shamil...your definition of slope is INCORRECT.

Look at how I found the slope!

shamil98 · Answer

y2 - y1/ x2 -x1

shamil98 · Answer

How am i the incorrect one?

anonymous · Answer

So that gives youa 0 in the denominator.

Slope is UNDEFINED!

anonymous · Answer

x2 - x1 = 0

Well????????? See your error?
