Question

Which of the following best describes the slope of the line below?

Answer 1

Answer:

A. Zero

General Formulas and Concepts:

Algebra I

Slope-Intercept Form: y = mx + b

• m - slope
• b - y-intercept

Step-by-step explanation:

A horizontal line has a slope of 0. Therefore, our equation would look like:

• y = 0x + b → y = b

If y = some constant b, that would be a horizontal line encompassing all x values for the single y value.

∴ Our answer is A.

Answer 2

Zero because the line is horizontal, meaning that delta y is 0. If it were vertical it would be undefined since the denominator/ delta x would be 0.
