Question

the slope of a vertical line is 0 right...
Medal to the correct answer...

Answer 1

The slope of a Vertical line is Undefined. ALWAYS

Answer 2

Can I explain why?

Answer 3

please

Answer 4

Lets say you have a vertical line x=5
Choose any points on it
(5,3) and (5,6)
OK?

Answer 5

ok

Answer 6

Plug these points into your slope intercept formula,\[slope~=~\frac{y_1-y_2}{x_1-x_2}~~~~plug~~~~i n~~~~your~~points,~~-->~~\frac{3-6}{5-5}~~-->~~\frac{-3}{0}\]

Answer 7

You can't divide by zero, so it's UNDEFINED.

Answer 8

You will always have the denominator be equal to zero in any vertical line, with any points, because the x coordinates of both points are the same, and \[x_1-x_2~~~i n~~~the~~~denominator~~~will~~~always~~~be~~~equal~~~t o~~~~0.\]

Answer 9

that makes sense lol thanks man
