Question

What is the slope of the line y = 3??
how do i find this answer/??

Answer 1

hint:

y = 3 is the same as y = 0x + 3

Answer 2

compare

y = 0x + 3

to

y = mx+b

Answer 4

so it's just 0 right?? or is it undefined???

Answer 5

Slope is defined as
\[m = \frac{\Delta y}{\Delta x}\rightarrow \frac{rise}{run}\]
For every change in x, is there any change in y?

Answer 6

for a horizontal line the slope is 0
\(\bf slope = \cfrac{rise}{run} \implies \cfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}\implies\cfrac{3 -3}{\textit{some value here}} \implies \cfrac{0}{\textit{some value here}}\)

anything dividing 0 = 0
0/25 = 0
0/1000000 = 0
0/whatever = 0
