Question

How do you find the slope of a line passing through the points (2, 5) and (2, 7)?

Answer 1

It is a vertical Line and parallel to x-axis. Hence its slope is infinity.

Explanation:

Given -

`x_1=2`
`y_1=5`
`x_2=2`
`y_2=7`

Slope `m=(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)=(7-5)/(2-2)=2/0=oo`

It is a vertical Line and parallel to x-axis. Hence its slope is infinity.
