Question

What is the slope of a line passing through the points (-17, 12) and (-18, 12)?

Answer 1

m = 0/-1 or 0 (horizontal slope)

Explanation:

Given points (-17, 12) and (-18, 12):

Let x1 = -17

x2 = -18

y1 = 12

y2 = 12

We can use the following slope formula:

`m = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1) = (12 - 12)/(-18 - 17) = (0)/(-1) = 0`

Since the slope, m = 0, then it is a horizontal slope.
