The slopes of vertical lines and the results of divisions by 0 do not exist because there are multiple answers. A line that is vertical can have a slope of infinity or negative infinity. Same with division by zero. Picture the graph 1/x. As the graph approaches zero from the left, it goes toward negative infinity, then jumps to positive infinity. There are two answers, and neither of them are real numbers. The limits do exist though. The limit of 1/x as x approaches zero from the left is negative infinity. and the limit as it approaches the right is positive infinity.
What else can I help you with?
What is the difference between a line that has a zero slope and a line that has a undefined slope?
zero is horizontal, undefined is vertical
The slope of every vertical line is?
The slope of any vertical Line is undefined because anything divided by zero is undefined.
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 cant equations of vertical lines be written in slope-intercept form but equations of horizontal lines can?
For vertical lines, when you try to figure out the slope, you get zero in the denominator - in other words, a division by zero.
The slope is a horizontal line is?
The slope of a horizontal line is zero. It has a slope, but slope = 0 and this makes it different from a vertical line which has a slope that is undefined because you cannot divide 0 over 0 which is how much a vertical line rises and runs.Ways to find slope:(y2-y1)/(x2-x1 )orrise/run
Some lines have no slope?
A horizontal line has a slope of zero. For a vertical line, the slope is not defined (change of y / change of x would result in a division by zero).A horizontal line has a slope of zero. For a vertical line, the slope is not defined (change of y / change of x would result in a division by zero).A horizontal line has a slope of zero. For a vertical line, the slope is not defined (change of y / change of x would result in a division by zero).A horizontal line has a slope of zero. For a vertical line, the slope is not defined (change of y / change of x would result in a division by zero).
What is the difference between a line with a slope of zero and no slope?
A line with slope of zero is horizontal. A line with no slope is vertical because slope is undefined on a vertical line.
A vertical line has a run which is?
run as in slope of a line is zero . horizontal lines have no slope and vertical lines have a slope of zero
What is the direction of a line with a slope of zero?
A line with a slope of zero is a flat, vertical line.
What kind of slope does a vertical line have?
a vertical line has an undefined slope, while a horizontal slope has a slope of zero.
Why is the slope of a vertical line undefined?
if you mean what is the slope, it would be (for example) 5/0 or any number over zero
What is the difference between a line that has a zero slope and a line that has a undefined slope?
zero is horizontal, undefined is vertical
Which has a greater slope a horizontal or vertical line?
Vertical. Te horizontal like has zero slope ( no slope) and the vertical line has infinite (very very high) slope
The slope of every vertical line is?
The slope of any vertical Line is undefined because anything divided by zero is undefined.
Do horizontal lines have an undefined slope?
No. The slope of a horizontal line is zero. The slope of a vertical line is undefined.
How can you tell if a slope is zero or undefined?
A slope is 0 if it is a straight horizontal line. A slope is undefined if it is a straight vertical line.
What is the formula for slope of a straight line?
the formula for slope is y=mx+b, a horizontal line has the slope of zero and the slope of a vertical line can be answered as undefined
