Question

What is the slope of a line that passes through the points (2, 0) and (5, 0)? Explain.

Answer 1

Hello!

Explanation:

Slope:
`(Y^2-Y^1)/(X^2-X^1)=(rise)/(run)`

`(0-0=0)/(5-2=3)=(0)/(3)=(0/0)/(3/0)=0`

Slope is 0.

Answer is 0.

Hope this helps!

Thanks!

Answer 2

y2 - y1/x2 - x1 = m
m= slope
0 - 0/5 - 2 = 0/3 = 0
slope(m) = 0
The slope is zero because there is no height to either coordinate pair. Both y's equal zero which means it's a horizontal line on the x axis.
