Question

Which statement best applies to the slope of the line below?

Answer 1

Answer: B) The slope is zero

============================================================

Explanation:

Any horizontal line will always have a slope of 0. This is because there is no change in y (aka the rise is 0).

So we could say something like

slope = rise/run = 0/1 = 0

The run can be anything we want, and we'd still get 0 every time.

------------

Another way to see this is to pick two points from this line. Whichever points are selected, they are plugged into the slope formula

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

You'll find that the y2-y1 expression turns into 0. Why? Because y1 and y2 are the same, so they subtract to 0. It doesn't matter what x2-x1 turns into.

Answer 2

Answer:

D

Step-by-step explanation:

fro the diagram below there line has no slope
