How do you find the slope and y intercept for #x=5#?

Answer 1

The statement "x=5" indicates that x will always equal 5 because the y-intercept is the point at which x equals 0. Hence, this line lacks a y-intercept.

Because this line is the collection of all points where x=5, it will run parallel to the y-axis (x=0), so it has a slope of 1/0, which is undefined (or technically #+-oo#).

To find the slope and y-intercept for the equation x = 5, note that it's a vertical line passing through x = 5 on the x-axis. Since it's a vertical line, the slope is undefined (or infinite) because the change in y is zero for any change in x. However, the y-intercept is not applicable because the line doesn't intersect the y-axis; hence, there's no y-intercept.

When evaluating a one-sided limit, you need to be careful when a quantity is approaching zero since its sign is different depending on which way it is approaching zero from. Let us look at some examples.
