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.
You don't, because it is undefined.
then the slope is x=y. there is no slope.
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 .
zero is horizontal, undefined is vertical
positive slope negative slope undefined slope zero slope
Sounds reasonable. If the lines are parallel, then their slopes are equal.
Positive slope: The line rises from left to right. Negative slope: The line falls from left to right. Zero slope: The line is horizontal. Undefined slope: The line is vertical.
The slope of a vertical line is undefined. The slope of a horizontal line is 0. Hope this helps.

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 :)
if slope is given as m then perpendicular slope is -1/m (negative inverse)
the difinition of undefined 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

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.
