Concept explainers
Calculate the slope and y − intercept (if possible) for the linear equation.Also describe the graph
Answer to Problem 39E
The slope of the equation is undefined and there is no y intercept.
Explanation of Solution
Given:
It is given in the question that the equation is
Concept Used:
In this we have to keep some concept in mind:
(i) The graph of
(ii)Slope intercept form :
(iii)
(a)If
(b)If
(c)If
(d)If m is undefined, the line is vertical.
Calculation: The given equation is,
Here it has to be seenthat,m is undefined and there is no y intersept.
The graph passes through the point
Conclusion:
The slope is undefined and there is no y intersept.
