Division by zero is undefined because when the limit of 1/x is taken from the positive side of the graph it approaches infinity but when it approaches from the negative side it is negative infinity; thus, becoming an infinite discontinuity this kind of discontinuity makes it undefined. Hope this helps You learn about limits in Calculus.
