Question 513 pointsFind the slope of the line passing through the points (2,1),(0,1).DiscussА 0B 1C 1/2D 2/1E-1

Answer 1

Answer

Option A is correct.

Slope = 0

Explanation

For a straight line, the slope of the line can be obtained when the coordinates of two points on the line are known. If the coordinates are (x₁, y₁) and (x₂, y₂), the slope is given as

$Slope=m=\frac{Change\text{ in y}}{Change\text{ in x}}=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$

For this question,

(x₁, y₁) and (x₂, y₂) are (2, 1) and (0, 1)

x₁ = 2

y₁ = 1

x₂ = 0

y₂ = 1

$\text{Slope = }\frac{1-1}{1-2}=\frac{0}{-1}=0$

Hope this Helps!!!
