Exercise 84 Page 530

Substitute the given points into the Slope Formula.

undefined

Practice makes perfect

We can calculate the slope by substituting the given points into the Slope Formula. m = y_2-y_1/x_2-x_1 Note that it does not matter which point we choose to use for ( x_1, y_1) and ( x_2, y_2), since the result of using the Slope Formula will be the same.

m=y_2-y_1/x_2-x_1

SubstitutePoints

Substitute ( y,x) & ( y,y)

m=y- x/y- y

Subtract term

m=y-x/0

Since we cannot divide by 0, the slope of the line that passes through the given points is undefined.
