Answer:

The slope of a line that has a y-intercept but no x-intercept will be zero.

Explanation:

If the line has no x-intercept, then it never intersects the x-axis, so it must be parallel to the x-axis.

If a line does not have an x-intercept, it means it would never intersect the x-axis.

Thus, it must be parallel to the x-axis, meaning its slope will be zero. It would be just a horizontal line.

For example, y=9 is the line equation that does not have an x-intercept and its slope is zero.

Therefore, the slope of a line that has a y-intercept but no x-intercept will be zero.
