Question:
Determine the slope of each line or linear function from the given information
*The line passes through (5,0) and is perpendicular to x=-1
Answer:
The line x = -1 is a vertical line.
If a line is perpendicular to a vertical line, then it is a horizontal line.
The slope of any horizontal line is zero.
Therefore, the answer is 0.
