Question

What is the slope of the line that passes through the points (0, -6) and (0, -5)?

Write your answer in simplest form.

Answer 1

0

Explanation:

Slope = change in y/change in x

Start with y: Our y2 term is -5, and y1 is -6

Set up the equation:

y2-y1

Plug in our values:

-6 - (-5) = -6 + 5 == -1

Now x:

x2 is 0, and x1 is 0

Set up the equation:

x2-x1

Plug in our values:

0-0 = 0

Now, put those two values together and you have the slope!

-1/0 is the slope

We can simplify this further though.

Anything divided by 0 is 0, so the slope = 0
