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 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 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.


Can you use a graph to write the equation of the line in slope-intercept form?

Yes

Which equation has a its graph a line parallel to the graph of -2x - 4y 3?

When the equation of a line is parallel to another line the slope remains the same but the y intercept changes


How do you graph when the equation is not slope intercept form?

To graph an equation that is not in slope-intercept form, you can use the process of finding points on the graph and plotting them. Choose a few x-values, plug them into the equation to find the corresponding y-values, and plot those points on the graph. Then, connect the points with a smooth line to complete the graph.

What is the slope in y equals mx plus b?

The graph of the equation is a straight line. 'm' is its slope. 'b' is its y-intercept


Which equation represents a line perpendicular to the graph of 3x-6y12?

Solve the line equation for "y", to get it in slope-intercept form. You can immediately read the slope from this equation.Divide -1 by (slope of this first line) to get the slope of the second line - the one perpendicular to the given line. Write an equation for any line with this slope.


How do you make and equation on a line in a graph?

The equation for the slope of a linear equation is Y=Mx+b, where m is the slope of the line, (Rise over run) and where B is the Y-intercept. (Where it crosses the Y axis)
