anonymous · Answer

First, I'd find the slope. Do you know how to find that?

anonymous · Answer

yes. i did and its 2/0

mathmale · Answer

That's a good start.  You'll no doubt remember that division by zero is not defined.  Here we have 2/0, which is not defined.  Think carefully:  2/0 signifies rise / run.
What would you say is the slope of the straight line in question?
Could you possibly draw this line?

mathmale · Answer

Graph the 2 given points; then draw a line through them.  How would you describe the orientation of this straight line?  Horiz?  Vert?  Slant?
