Question

Find the slope of the line going through the points (11,5) and (20,5)

Answer 1

So remember the formula for working out the slope:

(y2 - y1) ÷ (x2 - x1)

We already know two points:

(11, 5) and (20, 5) (Remember points are like (x, y)


Therefore y2 = 5 and y1 = 5 and x2 = 20 and x1 = 11

Substitute these into the formula from the start:

(y2 - y1) ÷ (x2 - x1)
(5 - 5) ÷ (20 - 11)
0 ÷ 9

And we can determine the slope is equal to 0 as 0 ÷ 9 = 0
