Question 8

REASONING Find the value of that gives the line that passing through (-5, 2) and (3, r) a slope of 0. Please explain and work shown!

Answer 1

r=2

Explanation:

We can use the slope formula and solve for r.

(2-r)/(-5-3)=0

If we multiply both sides by -8 (we got this from subtracting 3 from -5), then we will have no denominator.

2-r=0

-r=-2

r=2

Let's check our answer!

2-2/-8=0

I hope this helps!
