Question

(a) Find the slope of the line through the pair of points, (4, 6) and (4, -7), if possible. (b) Based on the slope from part (a), indicate whether the line through the points rises from left to right, falls from left to right, is horizontal, or is vertical.

Step 1

Step 1: The slope of a line is given by the formula: $$m = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}$$, where $$(x_1, y_1)$$ and $$(x_2, y_2)$$ are two points on the line. Show more…
