What is the slope of the line that passes through (2, 5) and (–1, 5)?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Recall \[m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So....\[m=\frac{5-5}{2+1}=0\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Even without calculation, the identical values of y indicate a horizontal line (slope zero).

okay! thanks!

OpenStudy (precal):

if you plot the points you will see the horizontal line
