Question

Find the slope of line passing through the two points, (7, 1) and (-2, 1).

Answer 1

Answer: m = 0

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope (m) = y2 - y1/,x2 - x1 : meaning increase in y divided by increase in x . it can also be written as ∆y/∆x

y1= 1, y2 = 1, x1 = 7, x2 = -2

Substitute for those values in the equation above

m = 1 -1/-2 - 7

= 0/-9

Therefore,

m = 0

The slope of the line passing through those coordinates = 0
