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.
