Miguel Galvan · Answer 1

X = 12 has a slope of 0, as it is a constant and perfectly horizontal. Slope is found through rise/run; the line 'runs' for infinity, and 'rises' 0, so the slope is zero. Parallel lines share slope. A line perpendicular (perfectly vertical) to it would have a slope infinity/zero, therefore, it is undefined as you cannot divide by zero.
