which statement is true? A. A line parallel to the x axis has neither slope nor y intercept defined. B. a line parallel to the Y axis has neither slope nor y intercept defined. C. a line parallel to the x axis has slope defined but not y intercept. D. a line parallel to the Y axis has a slope defined but not y intercept. I still don't understand.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

B is true That is because, the slope of a vertical line would be \[\frac{y_2-y_1}{0}\] which is undefined and a vertical line never crosses the y axis

A vertical line never crosses the y axis. Oh okay. Thank you!!
