ZERO vs. UNDEFINED SLOPE

Sometimes there is a confusion
between ZERO SLOPE and UNDEFINED SLOPE.
(Note: "Undefined" is probably the best
word to use for a VERITCAL LINE.
"No slope" is not as well accepted!)

How about a visual Mnemonic:
Zero: the "Z" has TWO HORIZONTAL SEGMENTS.
uNdefiNed: the "N" has TWO VERTICAL SEGMENTS.
