What is the slope and y-intercept of the line x=2?

2 Answers

\infty, \infty

Explanation:

The given equation: x=2 a vertical straight line parallel to y-axis at a distance of 2 unit on the right side hence it slope (m) will be
m=\tan\frac{\pi}{2}=\infty

The line: x=2 meets the y-axis at infinity hence its y-intercept will also be \infty

As below.

Explanation:

x = 2 is a line parallel to y axis and hence y-intercept is 0 as it never cuts the y axis.

Slope = (Delta y) / (Delta x) = tan theta = tan (pi/2) = oo as there is no change in value of x
