Question

Determine the slope and the y-intercept for the linear equation: y = - 6

a. the slope is 0 and the y-intercept is (0, - 6)
b. none of these
c. the slope is 0 and there is no y-intercept.
d. the slope is - 6 and the y-intercept is

Answer 1

Answer is A. y=-6 is a horizontal line that runs through (0,-6). It has no slope because slope=rise/run ( As they teach in school, but the slope can be thought of as the hypotenuse of a triangle ).

Since there is no “rise” but is only “run”, such that slope=0/anything is 0. ¿Comprendes?
