Question

) What is the slope of the line through the points (5, 2) and (5, -3)?

b) Describe the line through these points.

Answer 1

calculating the equation of a line with 2 points is quite simple

what u do is assign x1,y1 and x2,y2 for ur points. lets say 5,2 is x1,y1 and 5,-3 is x2and y2.

its y-y1=(y2-y1)/(x2-x1) *x-x1. so it would be y-2=(-5)/(0) *( x-5) but since gradient is 0 the equation is just y=2

Answer 2

oh btw slope is the gradient which is the y2-y1)/x2-x1 so -5 over 0 which is actually undefined

Answer 3

yeah that's what I got undefined

Answer 4

what would be part B?

Answer 5

@shamil98 can you help me?

Answer 6

the slope of a vertical line is undefined. so the line is vertical :)

Answer 7

:) thank you

Answer 8

is the first part undefined or 2 ?

Answer 9

@shamil98

Answer 10

the slope is undefined.

Answer 11

okay that's what I thought it was, thank you for your help :)
