Given:
(-7, 0)
(-7, -6)
x1 = -7
x2 = -7
y1= 0
y2 = 6
Find the slope of the line.
Formula for the slope of the line:
m = change in y/ change in x
m = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)
Solution:
Substitute the given values to the formula for the slope of the line.
m = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)
m = (6 - 0)/(7 - (-7))
m = (6)/(-7 + 7)
m = (6)/0
Since we cannot have a 0 in the denominator, this means that the slope of the line does not exist.
Final answer:
The slope of the line = Does Not Exist
