Question 897707: How would you do the following problem?
Calculate the slope of the line containing the points (5,3) and (6,3). Sketch a graph of these two points and draw a line that contains them, labeling the line a. Repeat with the points (3,5) and (3,6), labeling the line b.
So far my work
Line a: (3-3)/(5-6)=0/1
Line b: (5-6)/(3-3)=1/0
So my main question is how you would graph 1/0 and 0/1.
Thank you for your time

You would graph a horizontal line at y=3 and a vertical line at x=3. Graphing these is not any more complicated that that.

Line a: (3-3)/(5-6)=0/1 = 0
Line b: (5-6)/(3-3)=1/0 is undefined

-----
Plot (5,3) and (6/3) and draw a line thru them.
the slope is zero; the equation is y = 3
------
Plot (3,5) and (3,6) and draw a line thru them.
the slope is "undefined"; the equation is x = 3
================
