Question

What is the slope of the line passing through (3, 0) and (4, 0) ?

A) 0
B) 3/4
C) 4/3
D) Undefined

Answer 1

A

Explanation:

calculate the slope m using the slope formula

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

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (3, 0 ) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (4, 0 )

m =
`(0-0)/(4-3)` =
`(0)/(1)` = 0

Answer 2

`m=(y_(2)-y_(1) )/(x_(2) -x_(1) ) \\m=(0-0)/(4-1) \\m=(0)/(1) \\m=0`

⇒0 divided by any number is 0
