Although all lines have the relationship that defines slope, one can argue that not all lines do have one. The exception would be vertical lines. Slope is defined as the vertical rate of change divided by the horizontal rate of change. In the case of a vertical line, there is no horizontal rate of change, and calculating slope would cause division by zero.
The closest you could come to expressing the slope of a vertical line would be ∞

What is the slope of all lines parallel to the x-axis?
the x-axis is the horizontal line which means the slope is 0. any line parallel also has a slope of zero
What types of slope do parallel lines have?
They don't, they are parallel to each other.
The slope of a horizontal line is?
Horizontal lines have a slope of 0.
What word describes the slope of the line passing through points (5 12) and (5 -13)?
It would be a undefined slope.There are four types of slope:Postive slope (when lines go uphill from left to right)Negative slope (when lines go downhill from left to right)Zero slope (when lines are horizontal)Undefined slope (when lines are vertical)
If the slope of a line is -2 What is the slope parallel to it?
-2. Slopes of parallel lines are the same. If the lines are different it is the intercedpt that is different.
What is the slope of all lines perpendicular to the line y equals 7?
All parallel lines have a zero slope.
What is the slope of all vertical lines?
The slope of a vertical line is not defined.
Do all parallel lines have a slope of zero?
No. the slope of parallel lines would be equal but not necessarily zero. How many values can m have in " y=mx +b "? where m is the slope of the lines.
How many slopes do parallel lines have?
The lines all have the same slope.
What are Lines having no slope?
Lines with no slope are horizontal lines or flat lines
Do intersecting lines have the same slope?
Intersecting lines NEVER have the same slope. However, if the lines are identical, meaning all their points are the same, then they will, of course, have the same slope as well as everything else. On the other hand, parallel lines have the same slope, but they do not share a single point.
What kind of lines have a slope of zero?
On the standard Cartesian graph, horizontal lines have zero slope. They all have the equation Y = a number
Do all horizontal lines have the same slope?
yes
Steeper lines have a what slope than that of flatter lines?
Flatter lines have a _____ slope than that of steeper lines
Lines that have the same slope in math?
Lines that have the same slope are said to be parallel lines.
What kind of slope do a closely spaced contour lines indicate?
Closely spaced contour lines mean that the slope is steep.
What slope do horizontal lines always have?
Horizontal lines always have a slope of 0.
