Which statement is true? A line parallel to the x-axis has neither slope nor y-intercept defined. A line parallel to the y-axis has neither slope nor y-intercept defined. A line parallel to the x-axis has slope defined, but not y- intercept. A line parallel to the y-axis has slope defined, but not y- intercept.

OpenStudy (campbell_st):

a simple to look at this problem is a simple sketch |dw:1436990729192:dw| which line has a zero slope and which has an undefined slope..? which line has a y- intercept, which has an x-intercept?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

1st one is a zero slope and the 2nd one is an undefined slope

OpenStudy (campbell_st):

great which has a y- intercept and which doesn't have a y- intercept?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

1st one has a y intercept and the 2nd one has a x intercept

OpenStudy (campbell_st):

great so the 2nd one doesn't have a y- intercept... so which choice is true..?

OpenStudy (campbell_st):

so you should be looking at a line parallel to the y-axis

OpenStudy (anonymous):

it's hard for me to understand the wording but is it A

OpenStudy (campbell_st):

and you told me the slope is undefined.... and it doesn't have a y- intercept

OpenStudy (campbell_st):

parallel to the x-axis is the 1st graph

OpenStudy (anonymous):

right

OpenStudy (campbell_st):

so you need to look at parallel to the y-axis where the slope and y- intercept aren't defined... so I'd say B is true

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok
