Question

What is the slope between (-12, 1), (4,1)?

Answer 1

zero; it is a horizontal line

Explanation:

equation of slope:
`(y1-y2)/(x1-x2)` (-12, 1) (4, 1)

`(1-1)/(-12-4)` =
`(0)/(-16)`

Because the numerator is zero, the slope of the line is zero. It is a horizontal line.

Answer 2

`m=0`

• Slope Formula:
  `m=(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)`

Explanation:

Step 1: Define

Point (-12, 1)

Point (4, 1)

Step 2: Find slope m

1. Substitute [Slope Formula]:
   `m=(1-1)/(4+12)`
2. Subtract/Add:
   `m=(0)/(16)`
3. Divide:
   `m=0`
