Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
I think the easiest way would be to plot the points onto a graph. See the attached graph.
If you want to solve it, you can use the slope formula:
[tex]m = \frac{y2-y1}{x2-x1}[/tex]
Where m = slope
From the two points we are given:
(2, -1) -----> x1 = 2 , y1 = -1
(2,5) -----> x2 = 2 , y2 = 5
Plug these values into the slope formula and you get:
[tex]m = \frac{y2-y1}{x2-x1}[/tex]
m = [tex]\frac{5 - (-1)}{2 - 2}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{5 + 1}{0} = \frac{6}{0}[/tex] = ∞
This means that the slope m = ∞. In other words, there is no slope or gradient because the line is vertical.
