What does an undefined slope mean?
Back
An undefined slope occurs when a line is vertical, meaning there is no horizontal change (the denominator is zero), and thus the slope cannot be calculated.

How do you calculate the slope between two points (x1, y1) and (x2, y2)?
Back
The slope (m) is calculated using the formula m = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1).

What is the slope of a horizontal line?
Back
The slope of a horizontal line is 0, indicating no vertical change as the x-value changes.
