determine the slope of the line that contains the points g(8,1) & h(8,-6). select one: a. 2 b. 5 c. 0 d. undefined
Slope, m= \(\frac{change in y}{change in x}\)
slope, m= \(\frac{1--6}{8-8}\)
m= infinite
Answer: d. undefined
Step-by-step explanation:
We know that the slope of a line passing through two points X(a,b) and Y(c,d) is given by :-
\(m=\dfrac{d-b}{c-a}\)
The given points : g(8,1) & h(8,-6)
Then , the slope of a line passing through two points g(8,1) & h(8,-6) is given by :-
\(m=\dfrac{-6-1}{8-8}=\dfrac{-7}{0}=\infty\)
Hence, the slope of the line that contains the points g(8,1) & h(8,-6) is undefined.
