The slope of a line whose equation is x = 6 is?

Question

A) no slope

B) 0

C) 6

Answer 1

Hi Lindsey;

x=6

This is a vertical line.

A) no slope

Recall the fact that...

slope=(y-y₁)/(x-x₁)

x is always 6.  Therefore, the denominator, also known as the divisor, is zero.  This is undefined in the study of mathematics.
