The slope of a vertical line is undefined. It either slants straight up or straight down-- you can not say which. The formula for slope does not work in this case because the denominator is zero.

Do horizontal lines have an undefined slope?
No. The slope of a horizontal line is zero. The slope of a vertical line is undefined.
What is true about the slope of parallel lines?
The slopes will be the same. It is also possible that both parallel lines have no slope defined - if they are vertical.
What are slope lines?
They are lines that are not horizontal nor 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
Can the graph of a linear functions have undefined slope?
Yes. For example, the lines x=7, x=-1, and x=145 all have an undefined slope; they are all vertical.
Do vertical lines always have an undefined slope?
Yes.
What lines always have an undefined slope.?
Vertical lines always have an undefined slope. Slope for y = f(x) is given by :slope = dy/dxdx is zero at any point along a vertical line, making the slope undefined along a vertical line.
Do vertical lines have a slpoe of zero?
No. Horizontal lines have zero slope. Vertical lines have infinite slope.
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 slope of all vertical lines?
The slope of a vertical line is not defined.
What type of slope does vertical lines have?
a slope of zero. horizontal is undefined
Does everyline have a slope and y intercept?
No, vertical lines have an undefined slope.
Finding the slope of vertical lines?
It is not defined.
When is the product of the slope of two perpendicular lines not equal to -1?
When the lines are horizontal and vertical. (slope of zero) (undefined slope)
Do all lines have a slope?
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 ∞
What slope do horizontal lines always have?
Horizontal lines always have a slope of 0.
What is the slope of non vertical lines?
