Lets find the slope of the line through (4,3)(-2,1)
Solved by pluggable solver: Finding the slope


Slope of the line through the points (4, 3) and (-2, 1)



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


m+=+%281+-+3%29%2F%28-2+-+4%29


m+=+%28-2%29%2F%28-6%29


m+=+1%2F3



Answer: Slope is m+=+1%2F3



Lets find the slope of the line through (3,6)(3,2)
Solved by pluggable solver: Finding the slope


Slope of the line through the points (3, 6) and (3, 2)



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


m+=+%282+-+6%29%2F%283+-+3%29


m+=+%28-4%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.
