Question 677264: If a line has no y-intercept, what can you say about the slope and graph of that line? What if a line has no x-intercept? What would be the slope of that line, what would the graph look like?
How would you graph the line y = -1/2x + 2?

If a line has no y-intercept, then it's a vertical line that is parallel to the y-axis. The slope is undefined here.


If a line has no x-intercept, then it's a horizontal line that is parallel to the x-axis. The slope is 0 in this case.


To graph y = -1/2x + 2, plug in values of x to find corresponding values of y. This will give you points that lie on the line. Use them to graph the line.
