Concept explainers
To find: whether the equation of vertical line can be written in slope - intercept form.
Explanation of Solution
Given information:
Consider the vertical line.
Calculation:
Slope intercept form of line is
Consider equation of the vertical line is of the form
Vertical lines are parallel to y-axis, and so, the slope is undefined and no intercept.
Hence, the vertical lines cannot be written in slope - intercept form.
