Why does a horizontal have a slope of 0, but a vertical line has an undefined slope?

Mathematics
1 answer:
miskamm [114]4 years ago
4 0

Answer: 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.

A horizontal line has slope 0 because all its points have the same y-coordinate. As a result, the formula used for slope evaluates to 0.

Hope that helps!

Select the equation in which the graph of the line has a negative slope and the y-intercept equals 10.
PolarNik [594]
That would be C.

20x + 5y = 50
5y = - 20x + 50
y = -20/5x + 50/5
y = - 4x + 10
now in y = mx + b form. the m represents ur slope and the b represents ur y intercept. So here, u have a slope of -4 and a y intercept of 10.

The difference between Sally’s PE mark and Science mark is 12, and the sum of the marks is 154. If the PE mark is the higher mar
Vesna [10]

Answer:

PE = 83 and Science = 71

Step-by-step explanation:

let P represent PE and S represent Science with P > S, then

P + S = 154 → (1)

P - S = 12 → (2)

Adding the 2 equations term by term eliminates S

2P = 166 ( divide both sides by 2 )

P = 83

Substitute P = 83 into (1)

83 + S = 154 ( subtract 83 from both sides )

S = 71

Hence PE mark = 83 and Science mark = 71
