What is the product of the slope when x and y axis are perpendicular?

When the x-axis and y-axis are perpendicular, their slopes are defined as 0 and undefined, respectively. The product of a defined slope (0) and an undefined slope does not yield a numerical value in traditional terms. However, conceptually, one can say that the product is not defined, as multiplication by zero results in zero, but the presence of an undefined slope complicates the interpretation. Therefore, the product of the slopes is generally considered undefined.


What is the slope of a line parallel to a vertical line?

A vertical line has an undefined slope. For the line to be parallel to a vertical line, the slopes would have to be the same. Therefore, the line parallel to a vertical line also has an undefined slope.


Are the slopes of vertical lines and horizontal lines opposite reciprocals?

No, the slopes of vertical lines and horizontal lines are not opposite reciprocals. A vertical line has an undefined slope, while a horizontal line has a slope of zero. Since the concept of opposite reciprocals applies only to non-zero slopes, it does not apply in this case.


How do you write an undefined slope in slope intercept form?

You don't, because it is undefined.


What is the product of slope of x and y axes?

The slope of the x-axis is zero.The slope of the y-axis is "undefined" or "infinity". Whichever term you use, it's nota number that can participate in ordinary arithmetic operations. So the product ofthe slopes can't be calculated.For any other two perpendicular lines, the product of their slopes is -1 .

A line parallel to another line with an undefined slope must also have an undefined slope?

Sounds reasonable. If the lines are parallel, then their slopes are equal.

Does every line have a slope intercept equation?

No. Vertical lines and horizontal lines have undefined and 0 slopes. Undefined could be any number, so the answer is No. Good luck with your Apex :)


Which formula is correct for the slopes of perpendicular lines?

if slope is given as m then perpendicular slope is -1/m (negative inverse)


How can you tell which equation has the steepest slope?

if you know the slope of two epuations, (if the equations are in slope intercept form (y=mx+b, y is the dependent variable, x is the independent variable, m is the slope, and b is the y-intercept) the line represented by the line with the larger slope (|m|) has the steeper slope. If the lines have the same m, the slopes are either equal or negative. If the slope of either line is undefined, it is steeper than any slope other than one that is undefined, in wich the slopes are equal

How do slopes of perpendicular lines compare?

Slopes of perpendicular lines will be opposite reciprocals. This means that the slopes have opposite signs and that one is 1/ the other. For example, 2 and -1/2.
