No. A horizontal line has a slope of 0.
A vertical line has an undefined slope. Let's say you have a vertical line with the points (3,-2) and (3,4). The slope is (y1-y2)/(x1-x2) = (-2-4)/(3-3) = -6/0 = undefined. Notice that x is the same for both points. A line in which all points have the same value for x is a vertical line and as such has an undefined slope.

When is the slope of a line undefined?
When it is a vertical line (dividing by 0).
The slope of a vertical line is?
A vertical line is NO SLOPE to ski on. That's how my Algebra teacher taught us to remember it. Slope is rise/run with run=0, so the slope is infinity or "No Slope"
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.
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
What is the slope of 0 0 and 0 -5?
Assuming that you mean that those are the (x,y) points, then solve this by using the formula for calculating slope. Chance in y / chance in x = slope so, (-5 - 0) / 0 - 0 Already you can see the problem. The denominator will equal 0, which means that it does not exist. The slope of that line does not exist, nor does the slope for any vertical line. On a completely separate note though, the slope of a horizontal line is 0.
Slope of a vertical line?
The slope of a vertical line is undefined. Horizontal slope is 0.
If the slope of a line is 0 is the line horizontal or vertical?
if the slope is 0, the line is horizontal.
The slop of a vertical line is?
the slope of a vertical line is 0.
A horizontal line has an undefined slope?
No, the slope of a horizontal line is 0. The slope of a vertical line is undefined.
Which slope indacates a line with no vertical changes?
a horizontal line (slope = 0)
What is the difference between slope of 0 and no slope?
No slope is undefined i.e. a vertical line slope of 0 is a horizontal line... i believe...
What is a slope of vertical line?
the slope of a vertical line is considered undefined slope in the rise over run. lets say the rise is 5 and the run would be 0 since its a vertical line. therefore your slope would be 5/0 and since you cannot divide by 0, the slope is undefined
What happens when the slope is 3 over 0?
If the slope is 3/0 then the line is vertical (as there is no change in x for some change in y).
How many slopes do vertical lines have?
The slope of a vertical line is undefined. The slope of a horizontal line is 0. Hope this helps.
If the slope of a given line is 0 what is the slope of an orthogonal line?
If the original slope is 0, then the opposite reciprocal of 0 is still 0. Oops! Reciprocal of 0 (n/0) is undefined! A vertical line has undefined slope, the horizontal line has slope of 0.
When is the slope of a line undefined?
When it is a vertical line (dividing by 0).
What is the slope of a horizontal line?
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
