Question

Find the slope of the line passing through the points (-9,4) (8,4)

Answer 1

slope = 0

Explanation:

1) Use the slope formula,
`m = (y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)`, to solve for the slope. Use the x and y values of the given points, substitute them into the formula, and solve like so:

`m = ((4)-(4))/((8)-(-9)) \\m = (4-4)/(8+9) \\m = (0)/(17) \\m = 0`

Thus, the slope is 0.
