Find the slope of the line passing through the points (-4.0) and (7,0)

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope-intercept form: →
y=mx+b

m: represents the slope and is constant.

b: represents the y-intercept.

Used rise/run.


m=(rise)/(run)


slope=(y^2-y^1)/(x^2-x^1)


(x^1,y^1)=(4,0)


(x^2,y^2)=(7,0)


rise= y^2-y^1=0-0=0


run=x^2-x^1=7--4=11


slope=0/11=-11/0

slope intercept form:
y-mx+b


y=-11/0x+b


\boxed{-11/0=0}

Slope is 0.

Hope this helps!

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

m = (0-0)/ (7--4)

m = 0/11

m=0

the slope is 0
