@pooja195

pooja195 (pooja195):

y2-y1 x2-x1

OpenStudy (anonymous):

0 if the line y=9

OpenStudy (anonymous):

sorry where is the line?

pooja195 (pooja195):

No you have to plug in the coordinates in the formula

OpenStudy (anonymous):

well if its parallel to x-axis the slope is zero

pooja195 (pooja195):

right but i think to double check they should plug the numbers in

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\(m = \dfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}\) Plug in the points: \(m = \dfrac{9-9}{4+2}\) Simplify

OpenStudy (anonymous):

0?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes its 0

OpenStudy (anonymous):

??

pooja195 (pooja195):

right so that was correct but to double check always use the formula

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yep, 0 is correct.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thanks! 4 more?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

9 - 9 = 0 Anything divided by 0 is 0.
