your slope is similar to the one in previous problem.
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Undefined slope lines (vertical lines) always have the equation
x = something.
What value is x always going to be if it goes through (2,3) and (2,-6) ?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
-9
OpenStudy (solomonzelman):
Whenever slope is undefined, take what you got from\[y_1-y_2\] and set x equal to that.
OpenStudy (anonymous):
No. It's just x = 2.
You don't have to subtract the y's. Just look at your x coordinates. They are both 2.

yeah, kind of ... , my bad.

@agent0smith can you help me?
OpenStudy (agent0smith):
Since your slope is undefined, you have a vertical line,
x = something
what x value does the point pass through? It's in both the given points
OpenStudy (anonymous):
2
OpenStudy (solomonzelman):
yeah
