What is the slope of the line (-1,3) and (-1,-2) I know it is undefined but what is the actual slope?
-----------
It's undefined, or infinite.
slope = diffy/diffx
diffx = 0
slope = diffy/0 --> undefined

The slope is ( change in y ) / ( change in x )
slope = +%28+3+-%28-2%29+%29+%2F+%28+-1+-%28-1%29+%29+=+5+%2F+0+
This is infinity. An infinite slope is a vertical
line.
