Question

write an equation in standard form for the line that has undefined slope and passes through (-6,4).

Answer 1

y=mx+c. Plug ur values.

Answer 2

phil any probs?

Answer 3

uhh....what values?

Answer 4

x=-6 and y=4

Answer 5

plug them to y=mx+c.You hav an equation in m and c. thats ur answer!

Answer 6

so 4=m(-6)+c?

Answer 7

yep..

Answer 8

uhh............okay?.....ill try....

Answer 9

any more probs? ask me here..

Answer 10

if u didnt understand clearly...ask me thru!

Answer 11

ok uhh.......idk.........how do u find the slope?

Answer 12

i think u know whats a slope...its tangent of the angle made by the line with the positive x-axis...

Answer 13

in the equation of a line of the from y=mx+c
x and y are the coordinates of any point on the line...m is the slope...and c is the y-intercept(i.e. the point where the line cuts the y-axis)..clear?

Answer 14

so we need 2 things to determine a line m and c..

Answer 15

theres no Y intercept in an undefined

Answer 16

well we are given only one information ..the coordinate of a point..so we have undetermined constants..

Answer 17

yes...so we dont know c we keep it in the answer :)

Answer 18

ask if u are not comfortable! i am here all along...:)

Answer 19

i REALLY dont get what ur trying to tell me.

Answer 20

it will be x = -6, which is a straight vertical line that passes through that point. vertical lines have undefined slope since slope = rise / run (run is 0).

Answer 21

k. if by undefined u mean a slope of tan90 then the line is perpendicular to x-axis..

Answer 22

then mattfeury's answer is correct

Answer 23

ok................................................................................................OH NOW GET IT
