is the slope of 0 horizontal or vertical

OpenStudy (skullpatrol):

Any ideas?

OpenStudy (skullpatrol):

slope = rise/run

OpenStudy (kaliyah0524):

I dont know because it can go either way.

OpenStudy (skullpatrol):

nope, there is only one right answer here

OpenStudy (skullpatrol):

think about the definition of slope as rise/run

OpenStudy (kaliyah0524):

so vertical ?

OpenStudy (kaliyah0524):

because rise ?

OpenStudy (skullpatrol):

does a horizontal line have any rise?

OpenStudy (kaliyah0524):

No

OpenStudy (skullpatrol):

correct, the value of the rise is 0

OpenStudy (kaliyah0524):

Thanks

OpenStudy (kaliyah0524):

I got it wrong

OpenStudy (kaliyah0524):

Its horizontal

OpenStudy (skullpatrol):

that's what you said

OpenStudy (kaliyah0524):

No i said vertical

OpenStudy (skullpatrol):

I was trying to convince you using the definition slope = rise/run

OpenStudy (kaliyah0524):

ok

OpenStudy (skullpatrol):

look at that definition carefully please

OpenStudy (skullpatrol):

if rise =0 then the line is horizontal

OpenStudy (skullpatrol):

if run =0 then the line is vertical
