OpenStudy (anonymous):

Find the slope 1st.

OpenStudy (laddiusmaximus):

which should be 0

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes. So what lines have a slope of 0?

OpenStudy (laddiusmaximus):

straight ones

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Lml, all lines are straight.

OpenStudy (laddiusmaximus):

horizontal and vertical have zero slopes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Incorrect, horizontal lines and vertical lines do not have the same slope.

OpenStudy (laddiusmaximus):

ok I dont understand your question then.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Horizontal lines have a slope of? Vertical lines have a slope of?

OpenStudy (laddiusmaximus):

I thought slope was rise over run. if the line is going straight up there is only rise and no run so it should be 0.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

A slope of 0 doesn't mean the line is going straight up.
