Find the slope of the line containing the pair of points (8,-1) & (-8,-1).

Question

anonymous · Answer

You do rise over run, $$m=(y2-y1)\div(x2-x1)$$ so m=(1-(-1))/(-8-8)..m=0/-16, the slope is zero, if you draw the graph you will see that it is a horizontal line

*that's not right, i didnt see the -1

anonymous · Answer

scratch that, lol, the equation is right, m=0, I just put 1 as y2 instead of -1 in the slope equation

anonymous · Answer

Ok so what is the slope of the line?

anonymous · Answer

the slope (m)=0/16, which is a slope of 0....m=0

anonymous · Answer

when in doubt draw a quick graph
