What is the slope of the line through (–4, 3) and (5, 3)?

Answer:

The slope is 0 and it's undefined.

Explanation:

To find the slope, first you have to solve these problems from left to right. Then, you'd use the slope formula of
\Rightarrow \displaystyle (y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)=(rise)/(run).


\displaystyle y_2=3\\\\\displaystyle y_1=3\\\\\displaystyle x_2=5\\\\\displaystyle x_1=(-4)\\

Next, you had to solve.


\displaystyle(3-3)/(5-(-4))=(0)/(9)=\large\boxed{0}

As a result, the slope of the line through (-4,3) and (5,3) is undefined.

I hope this helps you!

Have a wonderful blessing day!

Good Luck!

Finding the slope using two points:

The formula for slope is


(y_(2)-y_(1))/(x_(2)-x_(1))

In this case...


y_(2) =3\\y_(1) =3\\x_(2) =5\\x_(1) =-4

^^^Plug these numbers into the formula for slope...


(3-3)/(5 - (-4))


(0)/(9)

0

^^^This is your slope

If your slope is zero that means that the graph will be horizontal

Hope this helped!
