Vertical lines always have an undefined slope. Slope for y = f(x) is given by :slope = dy/dxdx is zero at any point along a vertical line, making the slope undefined along a vertical line.
The slope of a vertical line is undefined and so there cannot be a slope-intercept form of the equation.
if a line has a slope of -2 and a point on the line has coordinates of (3, -5) write an equation for the line in point slope form
A slope is 0 if it is a straight horizontal line. A slope is undefined if it is a straight vertical line.
Write the equation of a line in slope-intercept form that has a slope of -2 and passes through the point (2, -8).
The equation of a line with an undefined slope is x = a.
Any vertical line has an undefined slope. The equation of the vertical line is x = a where the x-intercept is a.
you say undefined
You don't, because it is undefined.
If the slope is undefined, it is a vertical line. Therefore the equation is x=2.
Given two points, P = (a,b) and Q = (c,d) then provided a ≠c, slope = (d - b)/(c - a). If a = c then the slope is undefined.
Because of undefined slope, because undefined slope does not have a slope it doesn't have anything to substitute for m in the point slope equation.
An equation with an undefined slope is typically in the form x = a, where 'a' is a constant number. This indicates a vertical line on the coordinate plane, where every point on the line has the same x-coordinate and no defined slope because the line is perfectly vertical.
We usually denote the slope of a line as M. Horizontal lines have a slope of zero. Mhorizontal line = 0 Verticle lines have a slope that is undefined. Note that the slope is not infinite, but is undefined. Mvertical line = undefined To write the equation of a horizontal or vertical line, we need to know if it's going to be a slope-intercept form or a point-slope form.
x = 1 (the line intersects the x-axis at 1, and is parallel to the y-axis)We cannot write the equation on the Slope-intercept form, since the slope of the line is undefined. 1 is the x-coordinate of any point on the given line.

An undefined slope is just a line straight down. The slope is undefined.
