What is the slope of a line that does not intersect the y axis?
Andrebartley1
The slope of such a line is undefined: If you divide delta y / delta x for any two points, you get a division by zero.

A line where a line crosses the y-axis is called what?
The line that crosses the y-axis is called the intercept.
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.
Which of the following is an equation of a line with a zero slope?
A line with a zero slope is a horizontal line with an equation y = b, where b is any real number on the y-axis. It means that the line y = b intersects y-axis at b. You also can write the equation of a horizontal line in the slope-intercept form, such as y = 0*x + b.
Why the slope of x-axis and y-axis is not equal to -1 whereas slope of two perpendicular line is -1?

How do you define x and y intercept?
The x is the slope of a line and the y intercept is where the line passes through the y-axis on a grid.
When would a line with undefined slope intersect the y-axis?
Any line intersects the 'Y'-axis, just as long as its slope is not infinite.
In the slope- intersect equation of a line which part of the equation gives the y coordinate of the point where the line crosses the y axis?
As for example in the equation: y = 2x+5 the slope is 2 and the y intercept is 5
What is the slope of a line that is parrel to the y- axis?
The slope (or gradient) if the line is parallel to the y-axis, is infinite. If it's parallel to the x-axis the slope is zero.
What is the slope of a line perpendicular to the y axis?
A line perpendicular to the y-axis is a horizontal line (slope = 0) and is of the form y = b Therefore the required line is y = 5
What is the slope of a line parallel to the y-axis?
The slope is undefined.
What is the slope of a line on a graph?
The slope of a line is the change of the y(vertical) axis over the x(horizontal) axis. It is the rate. In the formula y=ax+b the a is the slope.
A line where a line crosses the y-axis is called what?
The line that crosses the y-axis is called the intercept.
What is the slope of the line y 3?
the slope of the line y=3 is 0. if you draw the line y=3, you get a straight horizontal line across the 3 on the y axis. Since the line is horizontal and parallel to the x axis, it's slope is 0.
What is the slope of the line for the equation y -8?
If you mean y = -8 then it has no slope and it is a straight line that is parallel to the x axis cutting through the y axis at -8
What is the slope of the line y equals 3?
the slope of the line y=3 is 0. if you draw the line y=3, you get a straight horizontal line across the 3 on the y axis. Since the line is horizontal and parallel to the x axis, it's slope is 0.
Where does the point where a line intersect the x-axis?
When y = 0
What is the difference between undefined slope and no slope?
Undefined slope is when a line is exactly on the y-axis, for reasons unknown, the slope of a line on the y-axis cannot be determined, so therefore it it "undefined." A line with no slope is a line with a slope of zero. In order for a line to have a slope of zero, it must be directly on the x-axis, meaning it is horizontal. Horizontal lines are straight and have no slope
