Slope of the line through the points (-5, -3) and (-5, 2)



m+=+%28y%5B2%5D+-+y%5B1%5D%29%2F%28x%5B2%5D+-+x%5B1%5D%29


m+=+%282+-+%28-3%29%29%2F%28-5+-+-5%29


m+=+%282+%2B+3%29%29%2F%28-5+-+-5%29


m+=+%285%29%2F%280%29


Since you CANNOT divide by 0, this means that the slope of the line is undefined.


Answer: The slope of the line is undefined.
