Find the slope of the line passing through the points (3, 2) and (3, -3).
Notice that both the x's are the same. If you connected the two points, you'd have a vertical line. Vertical lines have undefined slopes.
If you did try to find the slope between these two points using the slope fomula:highlight%28m=%28y2-y1%29%2F%28x2-x1%29%29 With the points (x1,y1)=(3,2) and (x2,y2)=(3,-3), you'd get:
m=%28-3-2%29%2F%283-3%29
m=-5%2F0 A 0 in the denominator of a fraction is undefined.
Happy Calculating!!!
