Exploring Slope

Question 8 • WCPSS-Introductory Math CR

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
x
x = 0
y
y = 0
x
x = 1
y
y = 1

Explanation

A line with no slope is vertical, because its x-coordinate stays constant. The line x = 0 is vertical and passes through every point whose x-coordinate is 0, including the origin (0, 0) on the y-axis. So x = 0 proves Ellen’s statement incorrect.
