Hence the slope of a vertical line is undefined.

$x = 6$ $x = 6$ is the equation of a vertical line which only has an x intercept. The slope is infinitely steep, or undefined,

If you try to do it by calculation: For any vertical change, the horizontal change is still 0.

Slope = $\frac{1}{0}$ $1/0$ . Division by zero is not allowed - it gives infinity as the answer.

Hence the slope of a vertical line is undefined.
