Question

What is the slope of the line that passes through the points (1, -7) and

(-2, -7)? Write your answer in simplest form.

Answer 1

0

Explanation:

To find the slope of a line, you have to use the slope formula:
`(y_(2)-y_(1) )/(x_(2) -x_(1) )`

So, plug in the numbers:
`(-7-(-7))/(-2-1)`

Simplifying it becomes:
`(-7+7)/(-2+-1)`. It then becomes
`(0)/(-3)`.

Finally, dividing 0 by -3 gets you 0.
