Which pair of points would yield a line with an undefined slope?
The slope between two points and is calculated using the formula .
A line has an undefined slope when the denominator of this formula, , is equal to , which means the -coordinates of the two points are the same.
Let's analyze each pair of points:
A: and
Here , , , .
The slope .
The slope is because the -values are the same while the -values change.
B: and
