Question 114822: Find the slope of the line through the following pairs of points.



(-5,-3)and(-5,2). What I have so far is this; m=2-(-3)/-5-(-5) = 5/10 =1/5
I think I am doing this all wrong, could you help please?
Thank You,

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
slope=(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
(2+3)/(-5+5)
5/0 again this is a verticle line through the point -5.
