D) undefined

Question

Find the slope of the line through the given points.
-(-7, -1) and (-7, 6)
B) m = 0 
D) undefined

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The slope of a vertical line is undefined because the denominator of the slope formula (change in y over change in x) would be zero. Since the line passes through the points (-7, -1) and (-7, 6), the x-coordinates are the same, so the line is vertical and the slope is undefined. The slope of a vertical line is undefined, and since the line passes through (-7, -1) and (-7, 6), it is a vertical line with an undefined slope.
