Question

A DIFFERENT ONE! The graph of a linear function is shown.Which word describes the slope of the line?

A-Positive
B-Negative
C-Zero
D-Undefined​

Answer 1

The slope is zero because the equation is y=-3

Answer 2

Answer: C-Zero

Explanation:

From the given graph, it can be seen that the line representing a linear function y=-3 is parallel to x-axis.

The slope of x-axis is known to be 0.

[ ∵ slope=
`\frac{\text{change in y}}{\text{change in x}}` and at x axis the y value remains same (y=-3), so the change in y value is 0 i.e. slope is 0]

Also, the slope of two parallel lines are equal.

Therefore, the slope of the given liner function y=-3 is 0.
