Exploring Slope — Quiz

Question 3 • Mathematics 8

Ellen thinks that if a line has no slope, then it never touches the y -axis. Which line proves that her statement is incorrect?

Answer
A
x is equal to 0
B
x is equal to 1
C
y is equal to 1
D
y is equal to 0

Explanation

A line with no slope is a vertical line, since its x-coordinate stays constant. The line x = 0 is the y-axis itself, so it touches the y-axis; this shows Ellen’s statement is incorrect.
