The vertical intercept of a function, often referred to as the y-intercept, is the point where the graph of the function intersects the y-axis. This occurs when the independent variable (typically (x)) is equal to zero. To find the vertical intercept, you can evaluate the function at (x = 0). The resulting value is the y-coordinate of the intercept, expressed as the point ((0, f(0))).
A vertical line on a graph has infinite slope and no y-intercept. Its equation is [ x = a number ]. The number is the line's x-intercept.
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
In terms of the slope intercept form of the line, it is undefined. A vertical line is not a function since a single value of x is mapped onto infinitely many y values.
slope: y=mx+b the y-intercept is vertical
No, a vertical line is not a linear function. In mathematics, a linear function is defined by an equation of the form (y = mx + b), where (m) is the slope and (b) is the y-intercept. A vertical line, however, has an undefined slope and can be expressed as (x = a), meaning it does not pass the vertical line test for functions, which states that for each input (x-value), there must be exactly one output (y-value).
X = 3 A vertical line not having a Y intercept.
No. It would not be a function if it crosses any vertical line more than once.
It is the y-intercept.

A vertical line on a graph has infinite slope and no y-intercept. Its equation is [ x = a number ]. The number is the line's x-intercept.

A vertical line on a graph has an infinite slope, and no y-intercept.
A vertical line does not have a slope - negative or positive. It is not defined. A vertical line has no y intercept and, if its equation is x = c (for some number c), then the x-intercept is (c, 0).
In terms of the slope intercept form of the line, it is undefined. A vertical line is not a function since a single value of x is mapped onto infinitely many y values.
If x is horizontal distance in your graph, and y is vertical distance, the vertical intercept is what y is when x=0. For example, if x is the time since you started a business, and y is how much your business is worth, the vertical intercept is how much money you started off with.
slope: y=mx+b the y-intercept is vertical
No. Use the vertical line test along the Y axis and if the line is crossed more than once, you know that it isn't a function.
