Here you go @GabeBae

OpenStudy (maddy1251):

If GabeBae cannot help, I can.

OpenStudy (maddy1251):

If you have a graph of the equation or formula, I can tell you.

OpenStudy (maddy1251):

Positive slopes rise up to the right. |dw:1446483155884:dw|

OpenStudy (maddy1251):

|dw:1446483174814:dw|

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Okay thank you I think it is B but I am not sure @Maddy1251

OpenStudy (maddy1251):

That is a negaive slope.

OpenStudy (maddy1251):

Do you have the equation or graph?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Here you go @Maddy1251

OpenStudy (anonymous):

It's a graph that I have did you get the picture? @Maddy1251

OpenStudy (maddy1251):

It is zero. Undefined runs up and down.

OpenStudy (maddy1251):

Yes, I did.

OpenStudy (maddy1251):

Remember \[\frac{ Rise }{ ?Run }\]

OpenStudy (maddy1251):

|dw:1446483372997:dw| This is undedfined.

OpenStudy (maddy1251):

So, from this graph we can see it is 'zero'

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Oh now I understand it a little better @Maddy1251

OpenStudy (maddy1251):

When it is undefined our run = 0, which causes the fraction to be x/0.

OpenStudy (maddy1251):

Remember undefined fractions, such a s 1/0 = undefined

OpenStudy (maddy1251):

But the slope in this case is just zero.

OpenStudy (maddy1251):

So, C.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Can you help me with one more graph. @Maddy1251??

OpenStudy (maddy1251):

Of course.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

It is the same as the first one. I want to say that it is A A) undefined B) zero slope C) negative slope D) positive slope.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@Maddy1251

OpenStudy (maddy1251):

You are right, because it will yield x/0=undefined.

OpenStudy (maddy1251):

It's not rising nor falling, not horizontal over the y-axis, thus it is undefined.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yay. Thank you for the help. @Maddy1251 when I get the chance I will fan and medal you.
