Convert x=4x = 4 to slope-intercept form, if possible.

A

Not possible

B

y=4y = 4

C

y=x4y = x - 4

D

y=0x+4y = 0x + 4

Correct Answer: A

Choice A is the correct answer. Vertical lines.

  1. Form: Slope-intercept is y=mx+by = mx + b.
  2. Problem: Vertical lines have undefined slope (mm) and cannot be written as y=...y = ....
  3. Conclusion: Not possible.

💡 Strategic Tip: Vertical lines are the only lines that cannot be written in slope-intercept form.

Choice B is incorrect because it is horizontal. Choice C is incorrect because it is diagonal. Choice D is incorrect because it is horizontal.
