Question

What is the slope of (-17,17), (7,17)

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Given points (-17 , 17) and ( 7 , 17)

Now slope (m)

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

= ( 17- 17) / ( 7+ 17)

= 0/ 24

= 0

Answer 2

The equation of a straight line has the form y=kx+b

$\left \{ {{17=-17k+b} \atop {17=7k+b}} \right. \\\left \{ {{-17=17k-b} \atop {17=7k+b}} \right.\\0=24k\\k=0$⇒ The slope of the straight line is 0
