Question

What is the slope of the x-axis?

Answer 1

The slope of the x axis is 0.

Explanation:

You can find this by picking any two points on the line and using the slope formula. For this purpose, we'll use (3, 0) and (7, 0)

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

m = (0 - 0)/(7 - 3)

m = 0 /4

m = 0

And this will be the same for any points that you choose on the axis.

Answer 2

The slope of any horizontal line on a graph is zero. That means that 'y' never changes, no matter how much 'x' changes.
