The distance formula is:

given:
P1 ( -2,-5 )
P2 ( -2, 3 )





------------
The slope is ( change in y ) / ( change in x )
slope =
slope =
slope =
When is in the denominator of a slope, that
means the slope is infinite, and that means it is a vertical line
through ( -2, y ) where y can be anything
