Is it possible for a line to not have a y intercept?
Yes, but only of the line is vertical. (It would then be written as x = a, where a is a constant. For example, the line x = 8 does not have a y-intercept. All lines in the form y = mx+b will have a y-intercept.)
How do you find the slope intercept of a vertical line?
A vertical line on a graph has infinite slope and no y-intercept. Its equation is [ x = a number ]. The number is the line's x-intercept.
Does every line has a y-intercept?
No because a line can be a vertical line so say you have the equation x=5. Then a vertical line would pass through the x intercept 5 and be vertical thus not having a y intercept. All horizontal lines have a y intercept
What is the general form of a line written in slope-intercept form?
The general form of a line written in slope-intercept form is y = mx + b, where m is the slope of the line and b is the y-intercept (the point where the line crosses the y-axis).
Can a line have no y intercept?
Yes, if it's a vertical line.
Explain why the equation of a vertical line cannot be in slope-intercept form?
A vertical line on a graph has an infinite slope, and no y-intercept.
What is the slope intercept form when a vertical line is passing through 5 -8?
The slope of a vertical line is undefined and so there cannot be a slope-intercept form of the equation.
Is it possible for a line to not have a y intercept?
Yes, but only of the line is vertical. (It would then be written as x = a, where a is a constant. For example, the line x = 8 does not have a y-intercept. All lines in the form y = mx+b will have a y-intercept.)
Does every line have an equation that can be written in slope-x-intercept form?
No. All vertical lines cannot be written in the form y = mx + c. They have no intercept and a gradient that is undefined. For example the line x=1 (no point is on the y-axis)
What is b in the slope intercept form?
b is where the line on the graph intercepts the y axis ( The vertical Line ) in a slope intercept equation

How do you find a negative slope intercept of a vertical line?
A vertical line does not have a slope - negative or positive. It is not defined. A vertical line has no y intercept and, if its equation is x = c (for some number c), then the x-intercept is (c, 0).
What is the y intercept of a vertical line?
There is not any. A vertical line is parallel to the y-axis so they cannot meet or they are the same line. In either case there is no intercept.
Can a line have no y intercept?
Yes, if it's a vertical line.
What slope does a vertical line have?
In terms of the slope intercept form of the line, it is undefined. A vertical line is not a function since a single value of x is mapped onto infinitely many y values.
