Question

Find the slope of a line that passes through (3, 4) and (-2, 4).

Answer 1

Answer:

The correct answer option is 0.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given two points on a line so we can find the slope of the line with help of these two points.

We know that the formula of the slope ($(m)$) is:

$m = \frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$

So putting the coordinates of the given points to find the slope:

$m = \frac{4-4}{3-(-2)}= \frac{0}{5}$

Therefore, the slope of the line which  passes through (3, 4) and (-2, 4) is 0.

Answer 2

The slope of the line passing through the points $(x_1,y_1)$ and $(x_2,y_2)$ is

$\dfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}.$

For the points (3, 4) and (-2, 4) the slope of the line is

$\dfrac{4-4}{-2-3}=\dfrac{0}{-5}=0.$

Answer: correct choice is B
