Concept explainers
To find:
The coordinates of two points on the line with the given equation.Then use the points to find the slope of the line.
Answer to Problem 16E
The coordinates of two points on the line would be
The slope of the linepassing through the given points is undefined.
Explanation of Solution
Given:
An equation:
Concept used:
Calculation:
We can see that our given line is a vertical line. We know that x -coordinates on a vertical line remain same. So the x -coordinate for any y -value would be
Therefore, the coordinates of two points on the line would be
Now we will find the slope of line.
Let point
Since we got a division by 0, therefore, the slope of the line passing through the given points is undefined.
