Q. 9 - Geometry

Question

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

 (6, -6); (-6, -6)

Step-by-Step Solution

Answer

The slope of the line is undefined.

Step-1 – Given

The given points are (6, -6); (-6, -6).

Step-2 – To determine

We have to find the slope of the line through the points (6, -6); (-6, -6).

Step-3 – Calculation

We compare (6, -6); (-6, -6) with .

here,

$\begin{array}{l}{x}_1=6\\ y_1=-6\\ x_2=-6\\ y_2=-6\end{array}$

So, $slope\left(m\right)=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}=\frac{-6+6}{-6-6}=$undefined.

It means, the slope of the line is undefined.
