Given:
Points (-1,-10) and (-1,-2)
x1 = -1
x2 = -1
y1= -10
y2= -2
Determine the slope:
Slope of the line = change in y/ change in x
Solution:
Substitute the given values of x1, x2, y1, and y2 to the formula for the slope of the line.
m = ( -2 -(-10)) /(-1 - (-1))
m = (-2 + 10)/-1 + 1
m = 8/0
0 on the denominator means that it does not exists, therefore the slope does not exist.
Final answer:
The slope does not exist.
