Algebra 1 - Why do we get a undefined slope - Math questions answered

The video tutorial explains why a slope can be undefined, focusing on the concept of dividing by zero. It begins by addressing common student questions about slope, then delves into the slope formula, emphasizing the change in Y over the change in X. The tutorial uses examples to illustrate how division and multiplication relate to slope, particularly when the change in X is zero, leading to an undefined slope. The conclusion reinforces the idea that dividing by zero results in an undefined slope.
