It is: x = k whereas k is a numerical value on the x axis and is a line parallel to the y axis through (k, 0)

No. Vertical lines are not.
The slope of a vertical line is not defined.
No because a line can be a vertical line so say you have the equation x=5. Then a vertical line would pass through the x intercept 5 and be vertical thus not having a y intercept. All horizontal lines have a y intercept
Yes.

Yes, all vertical lines are parallel, for a given coordinate system.
No. Vertical lines are not.

Although all lines have the relationship that defines slope, one can argue that not all lines do have one. The exception would be vertical lines. Slope is defined as the vertical rate of change divided by the horizontal rate of change. In the case of a vertical line, there is no horizontal rate of change, and calculating slope would cause division by zero. The closest you could come to expressing the slope of a vertical line would be ∞
It depends on how spaced apart all the lines are.
Yes.
f(x) = mx + bRestate the question: What are the functions that can represent a straight line?The equation y=mx + b represents all straight lines except for a vertical line, which has undefined slope.In function form, this is f(x) = mx + b. m represents the slope, and b the y-intercept.x = a represents a vertical line, which is not a function.The 'general form' of the straight line equation is Ax +By + C = 0. As long as B is not zero, this is a function.
The equation of a vertical line passing through the point (-4,0) is x = -4. Since all points on a vertical line have the same x-coordinate, the equation is simply x = -4.
yes yes No, vertical lines are not functions
Yes.Yes.Yes.Yes.
