Question

What does it mean if the slope of a line is undefined

Answer 1

Explanation:

the slope of any line is rise/run. What this means is that you have the change in y value divided by the change in x. If you have two points whos x value stays the same, or does not change, you have the change in y divided by 0. Dividing any number by 0 gives you the answer “undefined”.

Answer 2

Vertical line (straight up and down)

Explanation:

The slope of a line can be positive, negative, zero, or undefined. A horizontal line has slope zero since it does not rise vertically (i.e. y1 − y2 = 0), while a vertical line has undefined slope since it does not run horizontally (i.e. x1 − x2 = 0).
