Question

What is the slope of the line that passes through the points (-9,0) and (-17 , 0 ) ​

Answer 1

Answer:

$\mathrm{Slope=== > 0}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi student, let me help you out!

.............................................................................................................

First, let's recall the slope formula: $\boxed{\mathrm{\cfrac{y2-y1}{x2-x1}}}}$, where y2 and y1 are y-coordinates; x2 and x1 are x-coordinates.

Plugin the values: $\mathrm{\cfrac{0-0}{-17-(-9)}}$.

Upon simplifying, we obtain $\mathrm{\cfrac{0}{-17+9}}$.

Upon simplifying this further, we obtain $\mathrm{\cfrac{0}{-9}}$.

0 divided by anything results in 0.

✨ ∴, the slope of this particular line is 0, and this line looks something like this: $\rule{200}{1}$.

See, it's a horizontal line, with a rise of 0, meaning that it goes up 0 units.
