Question

Fill in the blanks below.

Find the slope of the line passing through the points (3, -4) and (-3, -4).
slope:
Find the slope of the line passing through the points (-2,8) and (7,8).
slope:

Answer 1

Both of these lines have a slope of 0.

Between (3,-4) and (-3,-4), there is no change to the y-values. This means the rise is 0, so the slope is 0.

The same is true for the other line, where the y-values are both 8. Again, there's no change in the y-values, so there's no rise.
