Solved by pluggable solver: Finding the slope


Slope of the line through the points (5, -9) and (5, 9)



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


m+=+%289+-+%28-9%29%29%2F%285+-+5%29


m+=+%289+%2B+9%29%29%2F%285+-+5%29


m+=+%2818%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.
