Question

What is the slope of the line that passes through the points (3, -2) and (9, -2)?

a) 0
b) 3
c) -3
d) undefined

Answer 1

a) 0

Explanation:

the equation of the slope (m) for a line from two points is given as (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

we are given the points (3,-2) and (9,-2)

we can label the points:

x1=3

y1=-2

x2=9

y2=-2

now substitute into the equation:

m=(-2--2)/(9-3)

simplify

m=(-2+2)/6

m=0/6

m=0

the slope of the line is 0, which is option a

Hope this helps!
