Aline passes through the points (p, a) and (p, –a) where p and a are real numbers and p ≠ 0. describe each of the following. explain your reasoning.

Part A) The slope is undefined

Part B) The equation of the line is

Part C) None y-intercept

Part D) The slope of a line perpendicular to the given line is equal to zero

Step-by-step explanation:

we have that

Describe

A) slope of the line

B) equation of the line

C) y-intercept

D) slope of a line perpendicular to the given line

Part A) slope of the line

we know that

The formula to calculate the slope between two points is equal to

we have

Substitute the values

 -----> the slope is undefined

Its a vertical line (parallel to the y-axis)

Part B) Equation of the line

we know that

The equation of a vertical line is equal to the x-coordinate of the points through which the line passes.

so

Part C) The y-intercept

The y-intercept is the value of y when the value of x is equal to zero

The vertical line not intercept the y-axis

so

None y-intercept

Part D) slope of a line perpendicular to the given line

A line perpendicular to the given line is a horizontal line (parallel to the x-axis)

therefore

The slope is equal to zero

2 is the final ! : )
