Question 513 pointsFind the slope of the line passing through the points (2,1),(0,1).DiscussА 0B 1C 1/2D 2/1E-1

Answer 1

Option A is correct.

Slope = 0

Step-by-step explanation

For a straight line, the slope of the line can be obtained when the coordinates of two points on the line are known. If the coordinates are (x₁, y₁) and (x₂, y₂), the slope is given as

`Slope=m=\frac{Change\text{ in y}}{Change\text{ in x}}=(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)`

For this question,

(x₁, y₁) and (x₂, y₂) are (2, 1) and (0, 1)

x₁ = 2

y₁ = 1

x₂ = 0

y₂ = 1

`\text{Slope = }(1-1)/(1-2)=(0)/(-1)=0`

Hope this Helps!!!
