Compare to:
The slope for x=2 is a vertical line perpendicular to the x-axis but crossing the x-axis at x=2
So the slope x=0 is vertical to the axis but crossing it at x=0. In other words it is the y-axis.
Slope (gradient) is the amount of up for the amount of along
y 2 - y 1 x 2 - x 1
The slope for x=0 can not be quantitised as you are unable to have different values for x 1 and x 2 . In fact the only truth is that x 1 = x 2 so you would have y 2 - y 1 0 which is undefined!
The perpendicular to the y-axis is parallel to the x-axis. In this case y 1 = y 2 0 x 2 - x 1 = 0 which is defined.
So the slope (gradient) perpendicular to x=0 is 0.
