Question 45003: find the slope of the line passing through the points (3,1) and (3,-1)
A)= 1
B)= -2
C)= undefined
D)= 0

Answer by adamchapman(301)   (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
The slope is equal to the difference in y divided by thwe difference in x. since no change in x is zero, the slope cannot be found as we cannot divide the change in y by zero. It is impossible to divide any number by zero (try it in your calculator, you will get an error message). The answer is C)undefined.
I hope this helps.
P.S. I am trying to start up my own homework help website. I would be extremely grateful if you would e-mail me some feedback on the help you received to adam.chapman@student.manchester.ac.uk
