Question

Find the slope of the line passing through the points (-8, 9) and (6, 9).

Answer 1

it is 0

Explanation:

rise/run

9-9 / 6 - (-8)

0/14

0

Answer 2

Hello there!

Use the slope formula:

m=
`(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)`

Now, plug in all the values:

`(9-9)/(6-(-8)) \\(0)/(6+8) \\0`

The slope is 0. Why?

If we are given 2 points and their y-coordinates are the same, then the line is a horizontal line. Its rise is zero.

Another formula for Slope is Rise/Run. If the rise (the amount of units we move up) is 0, then the slope is 0.

Therefore, the slope is 0.

Hope this helps you!
