Question

Plzzz help

2.-A line has an x-intercept of (4, 0) and a y-intercept of (0, 12). Find the slope of the line.
________________________________________
3.-A horizontal line includes the points (0, -5 ) and ( 2, -5 ) Find the slope of the line.

Answer 1

A.(0, –5)

Explanation:

Answer 2

`(y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1) = slope`

Problem #1
your going to need two points from the line to solve this. (use #3 as example)

Problem #3

x¹= 0, x²= 2
y¹= -5, y²= -5

Solving for the "y" portion
-5 - -5 = -10

Solving for the "x" portion
2-0 = 2

"y" a portion goes on top, "x" portion goes on bottom making it -10/2 which simplifies to -5.

ANSWER:
The Slope is -5
