Find the slope of the line that passes through the points 5, 1 and 5,-2

10/3

Step-by-step explanation:

First graph the points.

Then count the lines up from one point to the next in a 90 degree angle.

Which is the rise over run method.

Slope formula (m = slope):

       y₂ - y₁

m =

       x₂ - x₁

Coordinates:

(5, 1)

(5, -2)

Solve by substitution:

       -2 - 1

m =

       5 - 5

      -3

m =

       0

m = ∞

This is true because, when y₁ ≠ y₂ and x₁ = x₂, the slope is ∞ (infinity).

Hope this helps!
