Q. 8 - Geometry

Question

 Find the slope of the line through the points named. If the slope is not defined, write not defined.

 (3, 3); (3, 7)

Step-by-Step Solution

Answer

The slope of the line is undefined.

Step-1 – Given

The given points are (3, 3); (3, 7).

Step-2 – To determine

We have to find the slope of the line through the points (3, 3); (3, 7).

Step-3 – Calculation

We compare (3, 3); (3, 7) with $\left(x_1,y_1\right);\left(x_2,y_2\right)$.

here,

$\begin{array}{l}{x}_1=3\\ y_1=3\\ x_2=3\\ y_2=7\end{array}$

So,$slope\left(m\right)=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}=\frac{7-3}{3-3}=\frac{4}{0}=\text{undefined}$

It means, the slope of the line is undefined.
