Question

Find the slope of the line passing through the points-4,4 and 7,4

Answer 1

Slope= 0.

Explanation:

1. Formula of slope.

`m=(y_(2) y_(1) )/(x_(2) x_(1) )`

2. Name the ordered pairs.

Let (-4,4) be ordered pair 1;

let (7,4) be ordered pair 2.

Hence:

-4 is x₁;

4 is y₁;

7 is x₂;

4 is y₂.

3. Substitute the values of the variables into the slope formula and calculate.

`m=((4)-(4) )/((7)- (-4) )\\ \\m=(0)/(7+4) \\ \\m=0`

4. Conclude.

Slope= 0.
