find the slope of the line through the given points (8,-2) and (8,-1)
when i do the math I come up with 1/0 as the slope making that infinite.
Our choices for the answer are:
a)0
B) 1/16
c) 3/16
d) no slope
would the answer be d since the slope is infinite?
d. No slope. 1/0 = undefined.
The 2 points represent a ver. line.
Yes, you are correct. The result of calculating the slope (rise over run) between the given points (8, -2) and (8, -1) is indeed undefined or infinite. This happens when the x-coordinates of the two points are the same.
So, the correct answer would be (d) no slope, or sometimes denoted as vertical or undefined slope.
