Question

What is the slope of the line than passes through 3,5 and -1,5

Answer 1

slope = 0

Explanation:

Calculate the slope m using the slope formula

m = (y₂ - y₁ ) / (x₂ - x₁ )

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (3, 5) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (- 1, 5)

m =
`(5-5)/(-1-3)` =
`(0)/(-4)` = 0

This means that the line is horizontal and parallel to the x- axis
