Question

2. What is the slope of the line that passes through the given points? (1 point)

(6,-1) and (-3,-1)
A. undefined
B.-2/3
C.0
D.-3/2

Answer 1

C. 0

Explanation:

m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

m = (-1 - -1)/(-3 - 6) = (-1 + 1)/(-9) = 0/9 = 0

Answer 2

C

Explanation:

calculate the slope m using the slope formula

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

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (6, - 1 ) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (- 3, - 1 )

m =
`(-1-(-1))/(-3-6)` =
`(-1+1)/(-9)` =
`(0)/(-9)` = 0
