same x coordinate, but different y coordinates form a vertical line like that
OpenStudy (anonymous):
its negative and positive so is it undefined ?
OpenStudy (danjs):
since slope is change in y divided by change in x you get
\[\frac{ y~change }{ x~change }=\frac{ 3 - 5 }{ -3-(-3) }\]
OpenStudy (danjs):
you end up with a number divided by zero
-2/0 you cant divide by a zero, it is UNDefined,
vertical lines have an undefined slope
OpenStudy (danjs):
vertical line - undefined slope (number/0)
horizontal line - zero slope (0/number)
