6 Copyright © 2010 Pearson Education, Inc. All rights reserved. Slope of a Line Finding the Slope of Horizontal and Vertical Lines Find the slope of the line containing the points (–3, 2) and (4, 2). Find the slope of the line containing the points (1, 3) and (1, –2). Since the slope is 0, this is a horizontal line. Since the slope is undefined, this is a vertical line.
