What is the slope of a line that has no rise and only moves horizontally?

• Positive

• Negative

• Zero

• Undefined

What does the equation y = 5 represent?

• A line with a positive slope

• A horizontal line

• A line with a negative slope

• A vertical line

Why is the slope of a vertical line considered undefined?

• Because the rise is zero

• Because the run is zero

• Because it crosses the y-axis

• Because it crosses the x-axis
