Question

What is the slope of (-3,-2) and (1,-2)

Answer 1

Answer

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 (-3, -2) and (1, -2)

x₁ = -3

y₁ = -2

x₂ = 1

y₂ = -2

So,

$\text{Slope = }\frac{-2-(-2)}{1-(-3)}=\frac{-2+2}{1+3}=\frac{0}{4}=0$

Hope this Helps!!!
