Step-by-step explanation:

Slope-intercept form: →
y=mx+b

m: represents the slope and is constant.

b: represents the y-intercept.

Rise/run.


(rise)/(run)


m=(rise)/(run)


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


(x^1, y^1)=(10,5)


(x^2, y^2)=(9,5)


rise=y^2-y^1=5-5=0


run=x^2-x^1=10-9=1

0/1 is undefined.

The slope is 0.

Hope this helps!

Thanks!

Hi! For this you need to use the slope formula:

m = y2 - y1 / x2 - x1

m = 5 - 5 / 9 - 10

m = 0 / -1

m = 0

The slope is 0.

Hope this helps!
