How do you find the slope for #x = -2#? Algebra Graphs of Linear Equations and Functions Slope 1 Answer Shura May 19, 2015 The slope of a vertical line (i.e. #x = a#) is undefined (or you could say it is #oo#). In opposition, the slope of an horizontal line (i.e. #y = a#) is #0# since the standard form of a linear function is #y=mx+a#, where #m# is the slope. Answer link Related questions What is Slope?
