    Vertical Line

    Traits and Charactristics

    Vertical lines are lines that go straight up and down.

      other traits of vertical lines

    • The equation of a vertical line always takes the form x = k
      • where k is any number and k is also the x-intercept. For instance in the graph below, the vertical line has the equation x = 2.5. As you can see in the picture below, the line goes straight up and down at x = 2.5
    • The equation of a vertical line does NOT have a y-intercept since a vertical line never crosses the y-axis.
    • The slope of a vertical line is undefined.
    • Vertical lines help determine if a relation is a function in math.
