OpenStudy (anonymous):

you there?

OpenStudy (lonnie2018):

I'm confused on these questions.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok. what are you confused on?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

rise/run

OpenStudy (anonymous):

(y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

(-3 - 2)/(5-5)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

it is just a vertical line

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I agree with @10115658. So as you can see, the bottom simplifies to 0. This means it is an UNDEFINED slope which means it is a vertical line

OpenStudy (lonnie2018):

So the slope would be zero?

OpenStudy (lonnie2018):

or unidentified?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

undefined

OpenStudy (lonnie2018):

What does it mean to explain the line through these points?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the line is vertical through these points
