Question

What is the slope of a line that passes through the points ( 3,7) and(12,7)?​

Answer 1

m=0

Explanation:

To find slope, it is y2-y1/x2-x1

Therefore, x1=3, x2=12, y1=7 and y2=8

Plugging those variables in,

(7-7)/(12-3)=

7-7=0

12-3=9

0/9=0

Therefore, slope of the line that passes through points (3,7) and (12,7) is 0

Answer 2

The slope is 0.

Explanation:

To find the slope, we can do (7 - 7) / (12 - 3) = 0 / 9 = 0. This makes sense because if we look at the points, they both have the same y-coordinate, so we know that as x increases / decreases, y never changes. Because y never changes, the slope is 0.
