identify the slope: y=3x+4 ___________ x=4 _______________ y=-9 ___________

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

Hint: the general equation y = mx+b has the slope m

OpenStudy (anonymous):

3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

3 for which one

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The first one

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so how do i find the x and the y?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

other 2 have no slope :P 0

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

no, the one x = 4 has no slope

OpenStudy (anonymous):

they are flat lines

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

but y = -9 has a slope of 0 since y = -9 is the same as y = 0x-9

OpenStudy (anonymous):

They are either undefined or 0

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yeah thats the only other answer since its all that's given

OpenStudy (anonymous):

slope of x will be undefined you are correct but it will look on graph as an up and down vertical line.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@timo86m Can you graph x=4 _______________ y=-9 ___________

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thank you guys!!!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you guys all helped but jims answer pretty much summed it up.
