The coordinates of point 1 are 250 units of X and 40 units of Y. The coordinates of point 2 are 250 units of X and 70 units of Y. The slope of the line between points 1 and 2 is what?
Slope = Change in y / change in y
How much did y change between the two points?
How much did x change between the two points?
Divide them.
Whoops.
Slope = Change in y / change in x
To find the slope of a line between two points, we can use the formula:
slope = (change in y) / (change in x)
In this case, point 1 has coordinates (250, 40) and point 2 has coordinates (250, 70).
The change in x is the difference between the x-coordinates, which is 250 - 250 = 0 units.
The change in y is the difference between the y-coordinates, which is 70 - 40 = 30 units.
Plugging these values into the formula:
slope = (30) / (0)
However, we have a problem here because division by zero is undefined.
In this case, since the change in x is zero, the line between these two points is a vertical line. A vertical line does not have a slope in the traditional sense since the slope represents the ratio of the vertical change to the horizontal change.
