Question 1123002: Question on slope.
I've taken (-4,6) & (-4,-4) to determine the slope.
m=-4-6/-4-(-4)
m=-10/0
would this mean that m=0?
This has not been covered thus far, but after research, is this an infinity slope?
What would be the correct way to write the solution? Is m=0 correct?
Thank you!

No slope!
Slope UNDEFINED.
m%3C%3E0----------NO SLOPE, because it is undefined for your example.

Infinite slope or undefined.
Quick way to tell is to note that both x values are the same. That makes it a vertical line unless both points are the same.
m=undefined. NOT 0, that is a horizontal slope.
