Question

How do you find the slope of x = 5?

Answer 1

The equation, `x = C`, (where C is any real number) describes a vertical line and vertical lines have an undefined slope.

Answer 2

`"slope is undefined"`

Explanation:

`" the line with equation " x=5" is a vertical line"`
`"parallel to the y-axis and passing through all points"`
`"in the plane with an x-coordinate of 5"`

`"since it is parallel to the y-axis the slope is "color(blue)"undefined"`

Answer 3

the `slope` of a linear `equation` can be expressed

• `color(red)(tan)color(purple)(theta)` `color(pink)`(where `theta` is the angle made in the anticlock wise direction with the x axis)

here `theta` is `90` `degrees`
now, of course
`color(blue)(tan)color(red)(90)` is undefined
the slope is undefined
