Question

What IS the slope of the line that passes through the points (7, -6) and (6, -6)?

Write your answer in simplest form.

Answer 1

Answer: 0

Work Shown:

`(x_1,y_1) = (7,-6) \text{ and } (x_2,y_2) = (6,-6)\\\\m = (y_(2) - y_(1))/(x_(2) - x_(1))\\\\m = (-6 - (-6))/(6 - 7)\\\\m = (-6 + 6)/(6 - 7)\\\\m = (0)/(-1)\\\\m = 0\\\\`

Lines with slope of 0 are always horizontal. The y coordinates are the same value.
