Slope

slope zero

A line has a slope of zero when it does not have any vertical rise. It will be a straight horizontal line

general form

a standardized way of expressing mathematical equations or expressions that allows for easy identification and manipulation of their underlying structure.

slope intercept form

the way of writing the equation of a line so that the slope (steepness) and y-intercept (where the line crosses the vertical y-axis) are immediately apparent.

slope undefined

for horizontal lines the slope is zero. But for vertical lines. We have an undefined slope you could think of it as one over zero

vertical lines equation

is generally expressed as x = a, where a is the x-coordinate of all points on the line.

slope

is the measure of the steepness or inclination of a line, typically represented as the ratio of the vertical change to the horizontal change between two points on the line.

slope positive

occurs when a line rises from left to right, indicating that as the x-value increases, the y-value also increases.

horizontal lines

equation is expressed as y = b, where b is the y-coordinate of all points on the line.

slope negative

occurs when a line falls from left to right, indicating that as the x-value increases, the y-value decreases.
