Question

What is the slope of the line that passes through the points (-9, 5)(−9,5) and (-17, 5) ?(−17,5)? Write your answer in simplest form.

Answer 1

Answer:

0

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope is the difference in y values / difference in x values of the points.

For (-9, 5), and (-17, 5) slope is zero because the y-coordinates are the same.

m= (5-5)/ (-17- -9) = 0/ 8 = 0

The line has the slope 0 so is a horizontal line
