Question

What is the slope of y = 1 + 5?

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

if there is no typo, then that is

y = 1 + 5 = 6

y = 6

has no term in x.

that means 6 is the constant result of the line function, no matter what x value we pick.

and that means this is a horizontal line (parallel to the x-axis) going through the point y=6 or (0, 6).

remember that the slope is the ratio "y coordinate change / x coordinate change".

but y is not changing at all, the change or difference is always 0 no matter what points we pick on the line.

and so, the slope ratio is always "0/...". and that is 0.

so, the slope of that line is 0.

but if there is a typo, then please know : the slope of a line

y =ax + b

is always a (the factor of x).
