The slope of a vertical line is undefined and so there cannot be a slope-intercept form of the equation.

How do you find a negative slope intercept of a vertical line?

A vertical line does not have a slope - negative or positive. It is not defined. A vertical line has no y intercept and, if its equation is x = c (for some number c), then the x-intercept is (c, 0).

Does every non vertical line have a slope and a intercept?

Yes, every non-vertical line can be represented by the equation y = mx + b, where m is the slope of the line and b is the y-intercept. The slope of a line represents the rate of change of the line, while the y-intercept is the point where the line intersects the y-axis. Therefore, every non-vertical line has both a slope and a y-intercept.


What describes a line whose equation can be written x equals a?

On a graph, this is a straight vertical line, parallel to the y-axis, passing through the point (a,0) on the x=axis. Its slope is infinite, and it has no y-intercept.


How do you write an equation with and undefined slope?

Any vertical line has an undefined slope. The equation of the vertical line is x = a where the x-intercept is a.
