Question

What is the slope of (2, -3) and (-4, -3)

Answer 1

The slope is zero

Step-by-step explanation:

The given points: (2, -3) and (-4, -3)

we apply the slope formula:

`\begin{gathered} m\text{ = }(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1) \\ x_1=2,y_1=-3,x_2=-4,y_2\text{ = }-3 \end{gathered}`
`\begin{gathered} m\text{ = slope = }(-3-(-3))/(-4-2) \\ =\text{ }(-3+3)/(-6) \end{gathered}`
`\begin{gathered} \text{slope = m = }(0)/(-6) \\ \text{slope = 0} \end{gathered}`

Hence, the slope is zero
