Question

What is the slope of the line below?



A. negative
B. zero
C. positive
D. undefined

Answer 1

coordinates are (-2, 4) and (5,4 )

Answer 2

Use the slope formula.

4 - 4/5-(-2) = 0/7

When you have a slope over 0, it's a zero slope.

Answer 3

Just take note the slope of the line is the difference of y-coordinates divided by the difference of x-coordinates of that line.
Mathematically,
\[m = \frac{ y_{2} - y_{1} }{ x_{2}-x_{1} }\]

Answer 4

If this is true: coordinates are (-2, 4) and (5,4 )

then \[m=\frac{ 4-4 }{x _{2}-x _{1} }\]Can you now finish the job of finding the slope of the line connecting your two points?

Answer 5

yea, got it

Answer 6

Great. What is that slope?
