Video Transcript

So one problem. 10. We looks like we have a vertical line. So we have 0.42 and are tangent is vertical when it's vertical. So here's what happens. Let's say you pick another point this 40 So let's do that. M is why? To minus y one over x two minus X one So x one y one x two y two So zero minus two. Well, four minus four. So that's gonna be minus 2/0. This expression is undefined, Which means you're slope is gonna increase indefinitely. So slope, you can say is infinity.
