Find the slope, if it exists. x=-4 Thanks a lot. And I will be done with work and reviewing.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

No slope.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

How did you come to that conclusion? That way I'll know how to work it out. Thank you

Since the equationGlossaryequation A mathematical statement that says two expressions have the same value; any number sentence with an = . is a verticalGlossaryvertical Perpendicular to horizontal; up and down as opposed to left and right. line, it does not cross the y-axisGlossaryy-axis The vertical axis in a Cartesian coordinate system. . No Y-Intercept

Smacking self on the forehead. Thank you

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Basically it does not cross the axis, so no Y intercept

myininaya (myininaya):

it doesn't have to cross the y intercept to have a slope

myininaya (myininaya):

what about piecewise functions?

myininaya (myininaya):

the function doesn't have to be defined at x=0

myininaya (myininaya):

x=a constant is a vertical line since slope=rise/run and there is no run then the slope is undefined
