It's undefined. Who's to say what this is?
I guess we'll never know what this is.

So what do you think the slope is?

>> No.14497718

Its undefined as in infinite.
You have a rise with 0 run, aka dividing by 0.
Now tell me why a horizontal slope is defined

It's undefined as in undefined, mindlet.

Something is undefined if you haven't defined it. If you define it, then it will be defined. You can define it as infinity if you please, or you may not. You may also define it as 3.

If this is a brainlet thread as opposed to a bait thread, well, it just goes to show that some brainlets really struggle with the idea of human conventions.
It's like those brainlets sharing certain viral math images who can't grasp that an order of operations such as PEMDAS is simply a human convention and that alternative orders may yield a different value for a mathematical expression.

Slope is change in y with respect to x. But a vertical line only exists at one x value, so there is no change. The concept of slope does not apply here.

best response here
slope definition does not apply, so the slope is undefined

exactly, it's the platonic concept of "slopelessness"

T.idiots

The line y = 4 doesn't have a change in slope either, so we should call that undefined too right?

Slope m = y'/0 is undefined because the limit of m diverges as you approach x from either side. Jesus christ.

>Rotate paper 90 degrees. Line is now vertical. Slope doesn't exist.
