Algebra.Com's Answer #156631 by mickclns(59) ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! This is the ONLY kind of linear equation that CANNOT be put in slope-intercept form, because it is a vertical line and has no slope (not a slope of 0, that is horizontal, but its slope is undefined) -- pick two points on a vertical line, the rise will be something, the run will be 0, so rise / run will be undefined -- you can't divide by 0.\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "x-4=7 --> x = 11. In other words, this is all of the points, (x,y), such that the x coordinate is 11. \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " |
