The slope of the line whose equation is x = 6 is?
as an answer i got 0?

Question

anonymous · Answer

undefined

anonymous · Answer

rite
slope of x axis is zero

saifoo.khan · Answer

a line parellel to x-axis has the gradient Zero.

anonymous · Answer

x =6 is a vertical line.

anonymous · Answer

@ subito undefined for y axis

anonymous · Answer

vertical lines have an undefined slope.  horizontal lines have 0 slope

saifoo.khan · Answer

for x = 6
the slope is undefined.

anonymous · Answer

so no slope?

anonymous · Answer

sory my mistake undefined is correct

anonymous · Answer

not correct...  undefined slope.

anonymous · Answer

yup

anonymous · Answer

no slope means slope of 0

saifoo.khan · Answer

Yea, $$\Huge UNDEFINED-Slope$$

anonymous · Answer

vertical line - undefined slope
horizontal line - slope of 0

anonymous · Answer

thats not an option as an answer though. its either 6, 0, or no slope

saifoo.khan · Answer

NO SLOPE!

anonymous · Answer

0 and no slope are the same thing

saifoo.khan · Answer

$$\Huge \NO-SLOPE$$

saifoo.khan · Answer

No they arent.

anonymous · Answer

the correct answer is not one of the choices, or am i wrong on this one.

anonymous · Answer

there is no correct choice but they prob want no slope

anonymous · Answer

that's what i thought

zarkon · Answer

there is nothing wrong with saying 'no slope'.  In the context of linear functions the meaning is quite clear.

anonymous · Answer

in the context of linear equations no slope should mean no change in y as u change ur x

zarkon · Answer

that would be zero slope..not no slope

zarkon · Answer

no slope means that the slope does not exist

anonymous · Answer

ugh i will not argue this! the answer should b no slope with skepticism!

zarkon · Answer

so would no derivative mean the derivative is zero ;)

anonymous · Answer

hmmm so a flat pavement has a slope to it?

zarkon · Answer

lol..we are talking about standard mathematical phrases...no slope means that the slope does not exist...I'm sorry you don't get that.

zarkon · Answer

http://www.mathwords.com/u/undefined_slope.htm http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slope "A vertical line's slope is undefined meaning it has "no slope.""

anonymous · Answer

what??? derivative means change in y over change in x. if there is no derviative that means there is no change in y over change  in x so yes no derivative means 0 derivative

anonymous · Answer

zarkon · Answer

wow you just don't get it.

anonymous · Answer

so u would say that no change in a function is undefined?

zarkon · Answer

that is different...geesh

anonymous · Answer

thats what a derivative is a measure of!!!

I'm done with this discussion...learn the language.
