Horizontal and Vertical Lines

This video presents the same text shown beside it, spoken and on screen. It adds nothing the text does not say.

State

A horizontal line has slope 0 and equation y = b; a vertical line has undefined slope and equation x = a.

Show

Through (3, 1) and (3, 5), the run is 0 — the slope formula divides by zero, so the slope is undefined and the line is x = 3.

Builds on

  • Nothing — this is a starting point.

Unlocks

  • Nothing yet depends on this.
