Answer 3

\(\bf \begin{array}{lllll}
&x_1&y_1&x_2&y_2\\
&({\color{red}{ -6}}\quad ,&{\color{blue}{ -1}})\quad &({\color{red}{ -6}}\quad ,&{\color{blue}{ 4}})
\end{array}
\\\quad \\

slope = {\color{green}{ m}}= \cfrac{rise}{run} \implies \cfrac{{\color{blue}{ y_2}}-{\color{blue}{ y_1}}}{{\color{red}{ x_2}}-{\color{red}{ x_1}}}\)

Answer 4

Won't there be a zero in the denominator?

Answer 5

yes, that means the slope is "undefined"

and when the slope is "undefined" that means that the "run" values are equally the same across the whole line

that means a vertical line

so for any "y" value, "x" is always -6 thus

Answer 6

Ohh ok thanks
