OH! IT WAS A TRICK lol... I need to be more observant! Thanks!

If it is a horizontal line, it is undefined?

anonymous · Answer

Answer= undefined for verticle

phi · Answer

x=4
means no matter what y is x=4
so  (4,0),  (4,1), etc are on the line
it is vertical

vertical lines have undefined slope
because change in y divided by change in x
but change in x is 0, and dividing by 0 gives an undefined result
