what does it look like please
OpenStudy (katnissstyles000):
24=x+5
OpenStudy (anonymous):
the slope would be positive then because the x is a positive not negative the x has a 1 in front of it but it is a positive
OpenStudy (katnissstyles000):
ok thanks!!

your welcome

actually that is not a line, it has not slope
OpenStudy (anonymous):
\[24=x+5\\
19=x\]
OpenStudy (katnissstyles000):
my teacher wants us to call it a slope
OpenStudy (anonymous):
i don't believe you actually
a line may look like say \(y=mx+b \) or \(ax+by=c\)
OpenStudy (anonymous):
\[24=x+5\] is a "conditional equation" which is true if \(x=19\)

no thats what it looks like
OpenStudy (katnissstyles000):
what i wrote
OpenStudy (anonymous):
well then if x=19 then is is a slope of 0
OpenStudy (anonymous):
no dear that is wrong as well
OpenStudy (anonymous):
if it is the line \(x=19\) then there is NO slope, the slope is undefined

it would be a graph with the line going virticaly on x=19
OpenStudy (katnissstyles000):
thanks @jameskang1015
OpenStudy (anonymous):
and a vertical line has no slope

which is not the same as a slope of 0
