Question

What is the M and B forX = 5M=B=

Answer 1

m = undefined

b = doesn't exist

Step-by-step explanation

x = 5 is a vertical line where in all points x is 5. Therefore, if we use the formula for the slope:

`m=(y_1-y_2)/(x_1-x_2)`

The denominator will always be 0. Since we can't divide by 0, the slope is undefined.

Since it's a vertical line, there's no y-intercept. This is because the y-intercept is the value of y when x = 0 and in a vertical line x has always the same value: in this case, 5.
