Question

Find the slope of the line that contains the points named.

Answer 1

-2--2=0
3-7=-4
-4/0=undefined
The answer is undefined

Answer 2

Answer: The slope of the line is coming out to be 0.

Explanation:

We are given two points having coordinates G (3, -2) and H (7, -2)

Slope of the line is defined as the ratio of change in Y-axis to change in X-axis.

$\text{Slope of line}=\frac{\Delta Y}{\Delta X}=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$

We are given:

$x_1=3\\y_1=-2\\x_2=7\\y_2=-2$

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$\text{Slope}=\frac{-2-(-2)}{7-3}=\frac{0}{4}=0$

Hence, the slope of the line is coming out to be 0.
