its undefined

Well.. seeing that the X-coordinates are the same, it means that it is a straight vertical line. So, the slope is a number y over 0. The slope is undefined

nicely the equation of a line is y=mx+b. you be attentive to that M in the equation is comparable to the slope and you be attentive to that 2 is the slope as a results of fact it replaced into given. So first plug in what you be attentive to into the formula. it may look as though this: y=(2)x+b. Then plug in 0 for the x and 5 for the Y as a results of fact thats the way it particularly is once you may graph it. the 1st consistently being the x and the 2d being the y. it may look as though this: 5=(2)(0)+b. you're fixing for b, so when you resolve it you may desire to get 5=b. Now which you be attentive to the slope and y-intercept to your equation plug it in. the respond could desire to be y=2x+5

m = (0 + 2) / (5 - 5) = 2 / 0
This is not defined numerically and is the slope of a VERTICAL line.

Slope = (0-(-2)/(5-5)) = 2/0 = 0

x1 = 5
x2 = 5
y1 = -2
y2 = 0
fomula of slope is = y2 - y1 / x2-x1
= -5/0
=0

Yeah... Undefined, infinite... (it's vertical)
