Question

what is the slope of the line whose equation is x=-8

Answer 1

y = -8x

Answer 2

i haven't done this type of problem in a while...ignore me

Answer 3

slope=-8

Answer 4

it is vertical so it does not have a slope

Answer 5

there is no slope here, and no slope does not mean the slope is zero, it means it does not exist

Answer 6

what is the slope of the line whose equation is x-8

Answer 7

for y=x-8
the slope is 8

Answer 8

that is not an equation. it could be
\[y=x-8\] or
\[x=-8\] but
\[x-8\] is an expression. you need an equal sign for an equation

Answer 9

if it is
\[y=x-8\] the slope is 1

Answer 10

if it is
\[x=-8\] the slope does not exist

Answer 11

for y=x-8
the slope =1

Answer 12

i think this equation is undefined

Answer 13

please type in the whole question so we know what it is. you need an equal sign somewhere

Answer 14

it's a vertical line with no intercepts

Answer 15

this is the general simple formula of a line:
y=mx+b, where m is the slope, b is the y- intercept

Answer 16

what is the slope of the line whose equation is x=-8 this is the whole question.

Answer 17

the slope is undefined

Answer 18

how about y=-9

Answer 19

this a horizontal line so i guess the slope must be zero

Answer 20

how can i graph 3x-4y-1=27 using the slope of and y intercept to graph

Answer 21

the slope of x=a (a=constant) would b undefined
so slope of x=-8
is undefined

Answer 22

u want to find the x and the y intercept?

Answer 23

im so thankful for the answers

Answer 24

yes

Answer 25

yw

Answer 26

ok! so if u want to find the x-intercept u have to substitute y by zero and if u want to find the y-intercept u have to substitute x by zero

Answer 27

is my answer is right.. y=-3x/4+7

Answer 28

hey aroub and raheen thanks for your reply

Answer 29

3x-4y-1=27 ---> -4y=-3x+1+27 , -4y=-3x+28 , y=3/4x-28/4

Answer 30

for 3x-4y-1=27
4y=3x-28
y=(3/4) x-7

Answer 31

wait but u need the x and y intercepts right??

Answer 32

yes this is the last question how about 6x=2y+12

Answer 33

wait i dont understand u wont the x-y intercepts or get it back to the form y=mx+b

Answer 34

??

Answer 35

gtg as soon as i come back! ill reply to all ur question ok? soorry bbyyeeee

Answer 36

my prof said this use the slope and y intercept to graph the following equation 3x-4y-1=27 and 6x=2y+12

Answer 37

6x=2y+12
y=3x-6

Answer 38

hey im so thankful that u guys help through this
