Question

What is the slope of the line that passes through the points (-7, -10) and

(-19, -10)? Write your answer in simplest form.

Answer 1

The slope is 0.

To find the slope, we subtract the two y’s then do the same for x. That would look like:

(-10) - (-10) = 0

(-19) - (-7) = -12

Our fraction answer is 0/12. Because the slope has 0 as a numerator, we identify this as a slope of 0. This forms a horizontal line.

Final answer: The slope of the line is 0.
