Question

Find the slope of the line passing through (2, -8) and (-4, -8)

Answer 1

• (2,-8)
• (-4,-8)

Slope:-

`\\ \rm\dashrightarrow m=(-8+8)/(-4-2)`

`\\ \rm\dashrightarrow m=(0)/(-6)`

`\\ \rm\dashrightarrow m=0`

Answer 2

0

Explanation:

Given

• (2, -8) → (x₁, y₁)
• (-4, -8) → (x₂, y₂)

Formula

• Slope (m) = Δy/Δx = y₂ - y₁ / x₂ - x₁

Solving

• m = -8 + 8 / -4 - 2
• m = 0
