Slope of the line

\
\

The slope of a non-vertical line through any two points is given by

\

            \"\"

\
\

\"\"

\

Substitute \"\" in rate of change formula.

\

\"\"

\

\"\"                                                            (Signs are same. So, product is positive)

\

\"\"                                                            (Add: \"\")

\

\"\"                                                                      (Add:\"\" )  

\

 

\

\

 

\

 

\

\

  Since division by zero is undefined, the slope is undefined.

\

\"\" 

\

 

\

\

The slope m of the line that passes through the pair of points is undefined.
