What is the slope of the line x = -5? undefined 0 -5 5

OpenStudy (precal):

what type of line is x=-5

OpenStudy (camerondoherty):

undefined because there are infinite solutions

OpenStudy (camerondoherty):

@DEEISME you're just helping them get free answers by not even knowing how they did it and it wont help them learn...

OpenStudy (precal):

ok here is a good way to learn your slopes and the types of slopes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

True I delete it

OpenStudy (precal):

|dw:1404925582463:dw|if the line is going up, the slope is positive

OpenStudy (camerondoherty):

http://prntscr.com/410ffd it has infinite solutions if you look at the graph

OpenStudy (precal):

|dw:1404925620611:dw|if the line is going down, the slope is negative

OpenStudy (precal):

|dw:1404925648346:dw|if the line is vertical, then the slope is undefined notice the u to remind us of this

OpenStudy (camerondoherty):

nvm xD

OpenStudy (precal):

|dw:1404925705700:dw|if the line is horizontal then the slope is zero, notice the two zeros on the ends to remind us of this

OpenStudy (precal):

|dw:1404925746097:dw|this is slope guy

OpenStudy (camerondoherty):

xD

OpenStudy (precal):

ok x=-5 is a vertical line, what is its slope?

OpenStudy (camerondoherty):

can i say it lol

OpenStudy (precal):

sure

OpenStudy (camerondoherty):

lol undefined right? because the line is straight and vertical. If it was horizantal it would have 0 solutions
