15. The slope tells you the steepness and direction of the line. 26. a. 16. 17. Yes, a horizontal line has a slope. The slope of any horizontal line is zero. This is because the difference in y-values (the numerator in the equation for #16) is zero. 18. No, a vertical line does not have a slope. We say the slope of any vertical line is undefined, or we say there is no slope. This is because the difference in x-values (the denominator in the equation for #16) is zero. Recall that division by zero is undefine 19. The slope is positive if the line is rising (from left to right). 20.
