Understanding Vertical Lines and Their Properties

The video tutorial explains how to identify the slope and intercepts of the equation x = -7. It begins by graphing the equation, showing that it forms a vertical line. The tutorial then discusses the intercepts, noting that there is no vertical intercept and the horizontal intercept is at (-7, 0). The slope of the line is explained to be undefined, as vertical lines do not have a defined slope. The video concludes with a summary of these concepts.

What is the equation given in the problem statement?

• y = 7

• x = -7

• x = 7

• y = -7

What does the equation x = -7 imply about the value of x?

• x is less than 7

• x must always be -7

• x can be any real number

• x is greater than 7

When plotting the points for x = -7, what can y be?

• y must be negative

• y must be positive

• y must be zero

• y can be any real number

What type of line is represented by the equation x = -7?

• Curved line

• Vertical line

• Horizontal line

• Diagonal line

Why is there no vertical intercept for the line x = -7?

• Because it does not cross the vertical axis

• Because it is a horizontal line

• Because it crosses the vertical axis

• Because it is a diagonal line

What is the horizontal intercept of the line x = -7?

• (-7, 0)

• (0, -7)

• (7, 0)

• (0, 7)

What is the slope of a vertical line like x = -7?

• Undefined

• Negative

• Positive

• Zero

How can the slope of a vertical line be verified using the slope formula?

• By finding the sum of x and y

• By finding the product of x and y

• By finding the change in y over the change in x

• By finding the change in x over the change in y

What happens when you divide by zero in the slope formula?

• The result is zero

• The result is positive

• The result is negative

• The result is undefined

What alternative term might some sources use for an undefined slope?

• Negative slope

• No slope

• Positive slope

• Zero slope
