Question

What is the slope of the line below (1, -2) (4, -2)

Answer 1

Slope =0

Explanation:

`(1, -2) , (4, -2)\\m = ?\\x_1 =1\\y_1 =-2\\x_2 =4\\y_2 =-2\\\\m = (y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1) \\\\m = (-2-(-2))/(4-1) \\m = (-2+2)/(3)\\ m = (0)/(3)\\ m = 0`

Answer 2

0

Explanation:

We can use the slope formula to find the slope

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

= ( -2 - -2)/( 4 -1)

= (-2+2)/( 4-1)

= 0/3

= 0
