Question

What is the slope of the line that passes through the points (-8, -4)(−8,−4) and (4, -4) ?(4,−4)? is my answer 3?

Answer 1

The answer to your question is slope = 0

Explanation:

Data

Point 1 = (-8, -4)

Point 2 = (4, -4)

Process

1.- Write the formula to calculate the slope

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

2.- Identify x1, y1, x2 and y2

x1 = -8 y1 = -4 x2 = 4 y2 = -4

3.- Substitution

m = (-4 + 4) / (4 + 8)

4.- Simplification

m = 0 / 12

5.- Result

m = 0
