"slope is undefined"slope is undefined

Explanation:

"the equation of a line in "color(blue)"slope-intercept form"the equation of a line in slope-intercept form is.

•color(white)(x)y=mx+bxy=mx+b

"where m is the slope and b the y-intercept"where m is the slope and b the y-intercept

2x+9=3/2larrcolor(blue)"is not in this form"2x+9=32is not in this form

"subtract 9 from both sides and divide by 2"subtract 9 from both sides and divide by 2

2x=3/2-9=3/2-18/2=-15/22x=329=32182=152

rArrx=-15/4x=154

"the line with equation "color(red)(bar(ul(|color(white)(2/2)color(black)(x=c)color(white)(2/2)|)))

"is a special case in that it is a vertical line parallel to"
"the y-axis and passing through all points with an"
"x-coordinate equal to c"

rArr"slope is undefined"

"and x-intercept "=-15/4
