An undefined slope means a vertical line because:
The slope is the angle between the positive direction of the x axis and the line.
When angle is 90° the slope is:
m = tan ( 90° )
m → ∞
This notation means that m tends towards infinity.
The equation of the vertical line passing through ( 6 , - 5 ) is:
x = 6
y coordinate is not important because for each coordinate y, x = 6
Write the slope & y-intercept form: through: (6, -5), slope = undefined
