Functions and Graphs
Find the slope of the line passing through each pair of points or state that the slope is undefined. Assume that all variables represent positive real numbers. Then indicate whether the line through the points rises, falls, is horizontal, or is vertical. $$ (a-b, c) \text { and }(a, a+c) $$
