Question

Graph the line and determine the slope of x = -3.

Answer 1

is it undefined or 0?

Answer 2

The graph of
x= a number and
y= a number

can be remembered by the acronym
H.orizontal
O.=slope (zero)
Y.= a number

V.ertical
U.ndefined=slope
X.=a number

Answer 3

In this case, is you question in terms of y or x?

Answer 4

x

Answer 5

????? @doulikepiecauseidont

Answer 6

is it vertical (across) or horizontal?

Answer 7

vertical. so the slope is undefined.

Answer 8

vertical

Answer 9

ok thanks :)

Answer 10

Remember, this would be the VUX

Answer 11

thats horizontal

Answer 12

no that's vertical.

Answer 13

so y is always horizontal?

Answer 14

correct. when graphing something like y=3

Answer 15

what about y =4 is that undefined

Answer 16

no that would have a slope of 0.

Answer 17

why

Answer 18

Because slope is rise over run if you are just going up you would have 4/0 which has 0 on the bottom of a fraction

Answer 19

ohh ok

Answer 20

Becaue \[\Large y=4\]
is actually \[\Large y=0x+4\]

If I plug in any value for x, I'm going to have to multiply it by 0, which is just 0, and we don't need the 0

Answer 21

what about something like this

Answer 22

Find the slope of the line passing throug the points (2, -5) and (4,-6).

Answer 23

there's a formula to this.

Answer 24

m=\[\Large {y_2-y_1 \over x_2-x_1}\]

Answer 25

Where m=slope and x1,y1 is one of the points (it doesn't matter which one) and x2,y2 is the other point

Answer 26

so
