Question

What is the slope of the line that passes through the points (-9, -3)(−9,−3) and (1, -3) ?(1,−3)? Write your answer in simplest form.

Answer 1

slope = 0

Explanation:

Calculate the slope m using the slope formula

m =
`(y_(2)-y_(1) )/(x_(2)-x_(1) )`

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (- 9, - 3 ) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (1, - 3 )

m =
`(-3-(-3))/(1-(-9))` =
`(-3+3)/(1+9)` =
`(0)/(10)` = 0
