the line is going straight up and down (vertically)
A vertical line has an undefined slope. If a line is vertical, the horizontal coordinate, commonly known as the x coordinates, must all be the same. If not, the line would not be vertical.
When the slope is undefined, you know the line has to be vertical. Vertical lines only have an x in their equations. When you have the coordinates (2,4) with a vertical line, the equation for the slope intercept AND standard form would be the same thing: x=2
The equation does not have and y variable in it: it is of the form x = c. Alternatively, the x coordinates of both points are the same and the y coordinates are not.
The line is vertical on the graph. Its slope is infinite.
If you mean points of: (5, 0) and (6, 2) then the slope works out as 2

No. A horizontal line has a slope of 0. A vertical line has an undefined slope. Let's say you have a vertical line with the points (3,-2) and (3,4). The slope is (y1-y2)/(x1-x2) = (-2-4)/(3-3) = -6/0 = undefined. Notice that x is the same for both points. A line in which all points have the same value for x is a vertical line and as such has an undefined slope.

Points: (6, 4) and (6, 8)Slope: 0 because it is a vertical straight line that is parallel to the y axis
No.
The line is vertical on the graph. Its slope is infinite.

A vertical line has a slope of infinity.
Points: (8, 3) and (8, 7) Slope: 0 It will be a straight vertical line parallel to the y axis
To find the slope of a line, you take two points on the line, then use their X and Y coordinates in the following formula: slope = ( Y2 -Y1 ) / ( X2 - X1) By simplifying the answer, you will get your slope.
