The ratio of a line's vertical change to its horizontal change?
the slope
What is the ratio of a vertical change to the corresponding horizontal change of a line?
Slope.
Why the slope of a vertical line is referred to as undefined?
Because slope is defined as change in y over change in x, for a vertical line your change in x is zero. Dividing by zero gives an undefined answer.
Why can't a vertical line be used to represent rate of change?
the rate of change is related to the slope; the higher the slope, the higher the rate. If the line is vertical, that is infinite slope or infinite rate of change which is not possible
What is the shape of a line with an infinite slope in economics?
Slope is the change in y (vertical dimension) with the change in x (horizontal dimension). On a Cartesian coordinate system, the slope is equal to infinity for change in x = 0, or a vertical line.
