Answer:

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

Step-by-step explanation:

Parallel lines by definition refers to lines that never intersect or meet since they have identical slopes. The slope of line is defined as;

(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.

£35.50 for the first day then £18.25 for each extra day the total cost of hiring the machine was £ 163.25 how many day dose Mart

BabaBlast [244]

y = number of days
35.50 + 18.25 y = 163.25

18.25 y = 163.25 - 35.50

18.25y = 127.75

y = 127.75 / 18.25

y = 7

so Martin has hired the machine for 8 days

( first day paid 35.50), then 7 days for 18.25
