Question

What is the slope of the line that passes through the points(-4, 0) and (2, 0)?

Write your answer in simplest form.

Answer 1

Given:

Two points are (-4, 0) and (2, 0).

To find:

The slope of the line that passes through the given points.

Solution:

The line passes through the points (-4, 0) and (2, 0). So, the slope of the line is

`m=(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)`

`m=(0-0)/(2-(-4))`

`m=(0)/(2+4)`

`m=(0)/(6)`

`m=0`

Therefore, the slope of the line that passes through the points (-4, 0) and (2, 0) is 0.
