please give the steps too
OpenStudy (aripotta):
do you know the slope formula?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
the slope is 0
OpenStudy (aripotta):
oh right
OpenStudy (aripotta):
because they have the same y coordinate

the formula is y2-y1/x2-x1
OpenStudy (aripotta):
which would make it a horizontal line. all horizontal lines have a slope of 0
OpenStudy (anonymous):
yes
OpenStudy (anonymous):
parallel to x axis
OpenStudy (anonymous):
um why is it 0?

OpenStudy (anonymous):
the slope of lines parallel to x axis is always zero
OpenStudy (anonymous):
put the coordinates in the formula
OpenStudy (aripotta):
because the pints that were given have the same y coordinate
OpenStudy (aripotta):
points*
OpenStudy (anonymous):
so if the y are both the same the its 0

yes as the y coordinates are same the line will b parallel to x axis
OpenStudy (anonymous):
ok i am gonna post another q very similar i would appreciate help:)
OpenStudy (anonymous):
the lines which r parallel 2 y axis their slope cannot b defined
OpenStudy (anonymous):
sure
OpenStudy (anonymous):
3/2

OpenStudy (anonymous):
the slope will b3/2
OpenStudy (anonymous):
did u get the steps
OpenStudy (anonymous):
yeah i just needed to know that that if y ius the same its 0 for that q
OpenStudy (anonymous):
k
