Question 422654
"What is the slope of the line that passes through the points (2, -1) and (2,0)?"


(2,-1),(2,0)


y2 - y1
-------- = slope
x2 - x1


0 - (-1)
--------- {substituted into slope formula}
2 - 2


1
--- {subtracted}
0


= undefined {it is impossible to divide a number by 0}



The slope is "undefined".  Also, this would be a vertical line.  Horizontal lines have slopes of 0, such as 0/3.
