What is the slope of a line parallel to a vertical line?
A vertical line has an undefined slope. For the line to be parallel to a vertical line, the slopes would have to be the same. Therefore, the line parallel to a vertical line also has an undefined slope.
How do you write an undefined slope in slope intercept form?
You don't, because it is undefined.
What is the product of slope of x and y axes?
The slope of the x-axis is zero.The slope of the y-axis is "undefined" or "infinity". Whichever term you use, it's nota number that can participate in ordinary arithmetic operations. So the product ofthe slopes can't be calculated.For any other two perpendicular lines, the product of their slopes is -1 .
What happens if a slope is undefined?
then the slope is x=y. there is no slope.
What are undefined Slopes?
Undefined slopes are unnamed, if you go far enough into the problem your teacher will tell you how to figure them out You can also plot them on an intersecting number line.
What is the four different types of slopes?
positive slope negative slope undefined slope zero slope
A line parallel to another line with an undefined slope must also have an undefined slope?
Sounds reasonable. If the lines are parallel, then their slopes are equal.
How many slopes do vertical lines have?
The slope of a vertical line is undefined. The slope of a horizontal line is 0. Hope this helps.
What is the slope of a line parallel to a vertical line?
A vertical line has an undefined slope. For the line to be parallel to a vertical line, the slopes would have to be the same. Therefore, the line parallel to a vertical line also has an undefined slope.
As slopes of x and y axes are 0 and undefined respectively why the product of slopes of x and y axes is -1?

Does every line have a slope intercept equation?
No. Vertical lines and horizontal lines have undefined and 0 slopes. Undefined could be any number, so the answer is No. Good luck with your Apex :)
Which formula is correct for the slopes of perpendicular lines?
if slope is given as m then perpendicular slope is -1/m (negative inverse)
How can you tell which equation has the steepest slope?
if you know the slope of two epuations, (if the equations are in slope intercept form (y=mx+b, y is the dependent variable, x is the independent variable, m is the slope, and b is the y-intercept) the line represented by the line with the larger slope (|m|) has the steeper slope. If the lines have the same m, the slopes are either equal or negative. If the slope of either line is undefined, it is steeper than any slope other than one that is undefined, in wich the slopes are equal
What is the definition of undefined slope?
the difinition of undefined slope
Why the slope of x-axis and y-axis is not equal to -1 whereas slope of two perpendicular line is -1?

How do slopes of perpendicular lines compare?
Slopes of perpendicular lines will be opposite reciprocals. This means that the slopes have opposite signs and that one is 1/ the other. For example, 2 and -1/2.
What is the definition of a slope of parallel lines?
Horizontal lines have a slope of zero, and the slope of vertical lines is undefined. Parallel lines have equal slopes, and perpendicular lines have slopes that are negative reciprocals of each other. So we can say that: Two nonvertical lines are parallel if and only if they have the same slope. Two lines are perpendicular if and only if their slopes are negative reciprocals of each other. That is, if the slopes are m1 and m2, then: m1 = - 1/m2 or (m1)(m2) = -1
