what is an undefined slope?

Answer 1

A line that runs parallel to the Y axis.

Answer 2

a vertical line has undefined slope because all points on the line have the same x coordinates. A vertical line is parallel to the y axis.

Ordered Pair

(3, 5)(3, 2 )

m = y₂- y₁/ x ₂- x₁

m = 5 - 2/3 - 3

m = 3/0 . . .Undefined Slope

Undefinned slope is when the denominator is zero

Answer 3

Undefined Slope
No Slope

The "slope" of a vertical line. A vertical line has undefined slope because all points on the line have the same x-coordinate. As a result the formula used for slope has a denominator of 0, which makes the slope undefined..

Answer 4

the slope of a vertical line. Slope is rise over run, or the change in Y-values divided by the change in X-values. Becuase the X-value is always the same in a vertical line, the slope will be some number divided by zero, and that is undefined

Answer 5

An undefined slope is usually one where the "run" is equal to zero.

Note that slope is equal to rise over run, or rise divided by run, or rise/run. If run is equal to zero, then rise/run is undefined, because any value over zero is undefined.

In terms of lines, the only line with an undefined slope are vertical lines (i.e. x = c, where c is some constant).

Answer 6

undefined slope is a line which is parallel to the Y - axis.

for example:

given that the coordinate A and B are A (X1, Y1), B (X2, Y2)

slope = (Y1 - Y2)/(X1 - X2)

if (X1 - X2) = 0 or parallel to the Y - axis,

(Y1 - Y2)/(X1 - X2) = undefined.
