Question

Find the slope of the line passing through the pairs of points and describe the line as rising, falling, horizontal, or vertical. Then determine the value of the slope, m.
(-1, 2) and (-1, -5)
Slope, m = ______ The graph of the line is ______

SnapAndSolve AI · Accepted Answer

The slope of a line passing through two points (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) is calculated as:

Slope, m = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)

For the points (-1, 2) and (-1, -5):

Slope, m = (-5 - 2) / (-1 - (-1)) = -7 / 0

Since the denominator is 0, the slope is undefined, indicating a vertical line.

The graph of the line is vertical.
