How do you find the slope of (-2, 5), (-2, -3)?

1 Answer

Sep 16, 2015

The line through #(-2,5)# and #(-2,-2)# is vertical and as such its slope is undefined.

Explanation:

#"slope "= (Delta y)/(Delta x)#
#color(white)("XXXXXXXX")# if and only if #Delta x != 0#

In this case #Delta x = 0#
#color(white)("XXX")#since #((-2) - (-2)) = 0#
