Question

Find the slope of the line passing through the points (-4.0) and (7,0)

Answer 1

Explanation:

Slope-intercept form: → $y=mx+b$

m: represents the slope and is constant.

b: represents the y-intercept.

Used rise/run.

$m=\frac{rise}{run}$

$slope=\frac{y^2-y^1}{x^2-x^1}$

$(x^1,y^1)=(4,0)$

$(x^2,y^2)=(7,0)$

$rise= y^2-y^1=0-0=0$

$run=x^2-x^1=7--4=11$

$slope=0/11=-11/0$

slope intercept form: $y-mx+b$

$y=-11/0x+b$

$\boxed{-11/0=0}$

Slope is 0.

Hope this helps!

Answer 2

slope = (y2-y1)/ (x2-x1)

m = (0-0)/ (7--4)

m = 0/11

m=0

the slope is 0
