We usually denote the slope of a line as M. Horizontal lines have a slope of zero. Mhorizontal line = 0 Verticle lines have a slope that is undefined. Note that the slope is not infinite, but is undefined. Mvertical line = undefined To write the equation of a horizontal or vertical line, we need to know if it's going to be a slope-intercept form or a point-slope form.

Why can you use the point-slope formula when writing an equation of a horizontal line but not with a vertical line?

A vertical line HAS NO slope! The slope is undefined in this case.


What is the slope for the equation y equals -3?

The slope (or gradient) of a vertical or horizontal line is zero.


How do you graph if there is no slope?

If there is no slope in a graph, it means that the line is horizontal. A horizontal line has a slope of zero. To graph a horizontal line, you simply draw a straight line that is parallel to the x-axis. The equation of a horizontal line is typically in the form y = k, where k is a constant value.


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

Is an undefined slope a vertical or horizontal line?

An undefined slope is vertical.


Slope of a vertical line?

The slope of a vertical line is undefined. Horizontal slope is 0.


What is the slope of the equation -6?

I assume you mean y = -6. The slope of this would be zero since it is a horizontal line. For the equation x = -6, the slope would be infinite since this is a vertical line.


What is the slope of the line with equation x equals 4?

x = 4 is a straight line that is vertical when plotted on the xy graph, where y is the vertical axis and x is the horizontal axis. A vertical line has an infinite slope; the slope is infinity


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.


A horizontal line has an undefined slope?

No, the slope of a horizontal line is 0. The slope of a vertical line 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.
