Problema Solution

Use the slope formula to determine the slope of the line that passes through the points A(-5, 9) and B(-5, 6).

Answer provided by our tutors

The "point-slope" form of the equation of a straight line is:


y - y1 = m(x - x1)


where the slope m = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)


m = (6 - 9)/(-5-(-5))


m = -3/0


this means the line is parallel to y-axis and the formula is x = -5.
