Question

it is possible to get the slope of the equation (x=-8) ?

Answer 1

No, since the line would be a vertical line at x=-8 the slope would be undefined.

Answer 2

you can't get the slope, therefore it is undefined because you would be dividing by zero too find it

Answer 3

yes exactly it is undefined or infinity as you know the slope is tanx where x is the angle and tan90=undefined or infinity..

Answer 4

..really ? .thanks a lot ..

Answer 5

If you pick any two points on the line (let's say \((-8, 5)\), and \((-8,10)\)), and use the slope formula on them, you'll end up with: \[m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}\]\[m=\frac{10-5}{-8+8}\]\[m=\frac{5}{0}\] which is not calculable

Answer 6

The slope is not infinity, the slope is undefined.

Answer 7

In fact if you were to say it was infinity you would need to choose a sign, which is impossible. So that certainly doesn't make sense.

Answer 8

i said it wrong quite wrong there should be no inverse now i get it lol

sorry i did that quite wrong

Answer 9

it's just tan90 -> undefined sorry
