Question

The slope of diagonal AB is? And it’s equation is? Please help!

Answer 1

Slope = 0

Equation:

`y = -2`

Explanation:

Note that the diagonal AB is a horizontal line parallel to the x axis. The Slope m of a line is a measure of how the function f(x) changes when x increases or decreases.

Note, however, that horizontal lines such as segment AB do not change and their value of y does not depend on the value of x. Therefore all horizontal lines have slope m = 0.

Finally, the equation of line AB is

`y = -2`

Answer 2

0

y = -2

Explanation:

The formula for the slope is (in general) Δy / Δx Since the value of y does not change (I'm assuming we are talking about AB), the slope is (-2 - - 2) / (2 - -2) = 0/4 = 0

So the equation of the line is

y = mx + b

m = 0

y = 0*x - 2

y = - 2 <<<< Equation
