Question

The slope of the line whose equation is 2x-1=0 is

Answer 1

x=1/2, so in this equation the slope is undefined.

Answer 2

undefined

Explanation:

Equation of a line is y=mx+b

where m is the slope and b is the y intercept

`2x-1=0`

Here there is no y term, so we solve for x

`2x-1=0`

Add 1 on both sides

`2x=1`

Divide both sides by 2

`x=(1)/(2)`

If we have equation of the for x= some number then it is the equation of the vertical line. the slope of vertical line is undefined.

Slope of
`2x-1=0` is undefined
