Question

What is the slope of the line that passes through (-3, 3) and (-3, 6)?

A) -1/2
B) 0
C) 1/2
D) Undefined

Answer 1

\[\LARGE \frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}=slope\]

Answer 2

so, \[\frac{ 6 }{ -3 } - \frac{ 3 }{ -3 }\]

which equals \[\frac{ 3 }{ 0 }\]

Answer 3

i think this is undefined

Answer 4

why do you say that? @needhelpexplainplz

Answer 5

because it makes a vertical line

Answer 6

Oh, is it my work at the top correct though?

Answer 7

yes i believe so

Answer 8

A vertical line has "undefined slope" because all points on the line have the same x-coordinate.

Answer 9

you can close your question now

Answer 10

I know..but i can't do that whenever i still don't get the question. I don't want the answer just like you and @abb0t gave me. I want an explanation to why it is that.

Answer 11

Answer 12

They already gave you an explantion:

Slope = m = \(\sf \large \frac{\Delta y }{\Delta x} = \frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}\)

you subtract the second coordinate from the first. it is the change in coordinates.

Answer 13

@abb0t Don't even mind replying back to what i just said above, i could careless about what your peasant mind has to say to me so therefore leave, thank you have a nice day(:

Answer 14

@https.wild_ um excuse me i know your talking to him but you dont have a reason to be rude we shouldnt have given you the answer >:(

Answer 15

I'm disappointed that you fail to understand and grasp how this problems works, despite the explanations given to you by multiple users.
I suppose you need to study your elementary mathematics.

Answer 16

I didn't wanted the answer..i wanted an explanation @needhelpexplainplz

Answer 17

i did give you the explaination i said that it was that answer because it was a veritical line!

Answer 18

No one gave you the answer here.
Close the question, you're just trolling now.

Answer 19

how to find the slope.....(this is on a different problem, but just to show you how)
To find the slope, we will need two points from the line. Pick two x's and solve for each corresponding y: If, say, x = 3, then y = ( 2/3 )(3) – 4 = 2 – 4 = –2. If, say, x = 9, then y = ( 2/3 )(9) – 4 = 6 – 4 = 2. (By the way, I picked the x-values to be multiples of three because of the fraction.

Answer 20

Thank you, that makes more sense to me. @Deadly_Roses
