Question

What is the slope of the line for the equation y = -8?

-8

0

undefined

none of the above

Answer 1

-8?

Answer 2

no, y = -8 is the line... it's at the -8 spot on the y-axis everywhere... it's that lower line.

Answer 3

what is the slope of that line?

Answer 4

idk 0

Answer 5

or undefined

Answer 6

can't tell if you are guessing...

Slope is "how much up" divided by "how much over"

(change in y) / (change in x)

in this problem, the line is y = -8... it is flat everywhere, and it doesn't go up at all... it has a zero slope, because the "change in y" is zero... it's always at y = - 8

Answer 7

Undefined would be the slope of a vertical line, like x = 3

(Change in y) / (change in x) <<--- change in x is 0, and you can't divide by zero, so it's undefined

Answer 8

i said it was undefined

Answer 9

Vertical: slope undefined
horizontal: slope = 0
diagonal: slope = (change in y / change in x)

Answer 10

This problem is slope = 0

thank you though (: thanks for the help :)
