Trying to find the slope intercept form??

Question

my slope is undefined

m= undefined

and the line passes through (2,4)

help please!

Answer 1

The slope m is RISE /RUN

To be undefined means the denominator (the RUN) is 0

No RUN means x(2)-x(1)=0

This happens only when the line is vertical

The line is therefore parallel to the y-axis, and everywhere on that line

2 units away from it.

The equation is x=2

Answer 2

An undefined slope implies a vertical line.  A vertical line always has the same x value.

x = 2

You can't put this into a true slope intercept form.

Answer 3

Only vertical lines have an undefined slope. Thus, the value of x is always the same. If this line passes through (2,4), then the equation of the line is x = 2 and this equation cannot be put into slope-intercept form because it has no slope.
