The slope of the x-axis is zero.
The slope of the y-axis is "undefined" or "infinity". Whichever term you use, it's not
a number that can participate in ordinary arithmetic operations. So the product of
the slopes can't be calculated.
For any other two perpendicular lines, the product of their slopes is -1 .

What is the product of the slopes when the x axis and y axis are perpendicular?
The slope of the x-axis is 0 and the y-axis does not have a slope. For all pairs of perpendicular lines, other than those parallel to the axes, the product of their slopes is -1.
Can the graph of a function have an undefined slope?
Yes and the straight line could be parallel to the x or y axes
When the value of the slope gets smaller the graph of a line gets what?
When the slope of a line reaches zero it then will be parallel to the x or y axes depending if its a positive or a negative slope.
When the absolute value of the slope gets smaller the graph of a line gets?
When the slope of a line reaches zero it then will be parallel to the x or y axes depending if its a positive or a negative slope.
Why is the slopes of product x and y axis is -1?
It is not, because the slope of the y-axis is not defined.
Why is product of slopes of x axis and y axis not equal to one?
We know that the slope of a line is (Changes in y)/(Changes in x). Does the y-axes has changes in y? No. This means that y-axis does not have a slope. The same thing is for x-axis.
The line that has no slope?
It is a line parallel to the x or y axes that has no slope.
What is the product of the slopes when the x axis and y axis are perpendicular?
The slope of the x-axis is 0 and the y-axis does not have a slope. For all pairs of perpendicular lines, other than those parallel to the axes, the product of their slopes is -1.
As slopes of x and y axes are 0 and undefined respectively why the product of slopes of x and y axes is -1?

What on the x axes ant What is on the y axes?
The x is on the top left and y is on the bottom.
