What is the slope of the graph of the line x = –1? Isn't it Undefined?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

A. 1 B. –1 C. 0 D. The slope is undefined

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

You are correct. The equation x = -1 plots the vertical line through -1 on the x axis. All vertical lines have undefined slopes.

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

Since slope = rise/run = rise/0 = undefined
