hey, im little confused about writing an equation in slope-intercept that has a slope that is undefined. i have to write an equation using these points (5,6) & (5,8) can someone explain this to me step by step?<\/p>\n

Thanks!<\/p>\n

  1. \n

    The form is a bit diffeent. The equation is simply x=5<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  2. slope is term used to describe the incline of a straight line when plotted on an x-y axis. as you know, 2 points define a line so using (x,y) you have these two points.\n

    slope-intercept formula is y=mx+b where m is slope and b is the intercept<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  3. A line passing through (5,6) and (5,8) is a vertical line. (no slope) There is no y-intercept. The equation of the line is simply x = 5.\n

    That is x = 5 for all y.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  4. \n

    in your case you have two points lying on a line. Each point has the same x coordinate so this is line parallel to Y-axis. It’s equation is x=5.
    \nIt intersects x axis as point (5,0)<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  5. y^2-y^1 ———–\n

    x^2-x^1<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  6. \n

    Becasue you X value is always 5, as defined by the two points, your equation is simply x=5<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  7. Slope intercept form is y = mx + c where m is the slope and c is where the line crosses the y axis. Given the points you have you find the slope by taking the difference in y and dividing it by the difference in x. So 8 – 6 \/ 5 – 5 so your slope is 2\/1 or just simply 2. Ok now you use the standard formula for an equation y – y1=M(x-x1) imputting your coordinates such. y – 5 = 2(x – 5) expand the bracket y – 5 = 2x – 10 add 5 to both sides y = 2x -5\n

    and thats your answer.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
