What is the slope of the line that passes through the points left bracket, minus, 8, comma, 6, right bracket(−8,6) and left bracket, minus, 8, comma, 2, right bracket(−8,2)? Write your answer in simplest form.
The slope of a line passing through two points is given by the formula:
m = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)
Given the points (-8,6) and (-8,2), we have:
m = (2 - 6) / (-8 - (-8))
m = (-4) / 0
However, division by zero is undefined. Therefore, the slope of the line passing through these two points is undefined.
