Key Concepts

Vertical Line

A vertical line is characterized by an equation in the form x = constant. Such lines do not have a defined slope because the horizontal change (run) is zero, and division by zero is undefined.

Slope

The slope of a line is the ratio of the vertical change to the horizontal change between any two points on the line, often expressed as 'rise over run'. This measure quantifies how steep a line is.
