the coefficient with x is the slope

anonymous · Answer

so is it d

faiqraees · Answer

no, what's being multiplied by x so it have a negative sign?

anonymous · Answer

The line is a horizontal line.  The slope is found by using the rise over the run, which is y over x.

anonymous · Answer

The formula to solve for slope is the change in y over the change in x.  Change being found from points on the line.

anonymous · Answer

If a line is drawn through y = 1, you can plot any points on x but the y point will always be a 1.  This makes a straight, horizontal line.  The change in y is 0 since y is always 1 and 1-1 = 0.  Any fraction with a 0 in the numerator = 0, no matter what number is on the bottom, right?  So if there is no change in the rise, the line is horizontal.

So the answer will be A
