Answer:

A vertical line has an infinite or undefined slope since the denominator is zero.

Step-by-step explanation:

(change in y)/(change in x)

For a vertical line, the y values are changing while the x values remain constant. The slope of this line will thus have a zero value in the denominator implying that its slope will not defined or will be infinity.

Information provided

Weight of ant=2*10^{-3} grams

Weight of lion=1*10^{5} but units are not provided, assuming this unit is also grams

How many times lion's weight exceed an ant

\frac {1*10^{5}}{2*10^{-3}}=50000000

=5*10^{7}

Therefore, the value of x=7 if the unit for weight of lion is assumed to be same as unit for weight of an ant
