Question

15. Identify the slope of the line below and state the equation of the line.

Answer 1

Answer:

Slope: m = 0

Equation: y = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line has the following format:

$y = mx + b$

In which m is the slope.

We choose two points which the equation crosses.

I am going to choose (0,3) and (1,3)

(0,3)

When x = 0, y = 3. So

$y = mx + b$

$3 = 0m + b$

$b = 3$

(1,3)

When x = 1, y = 3. So

$y = mx + 3$

$3 = 1m + 3$

$m = 0$

Slope: m = 0

Equation: y = 3
