Question

What is the slope of the line that

passes through these two points?
(-3, 2)
(4, 2)
Remember, Slope
rise (y2-yı)
run (x2-x1)
Simplify your answer completely.

Answer 1

The line has a slope of zero which means the line is a horizontal line.

Explanation:

Given that:

The two points are (-3,2) and (4,2)

Slope of a line is given by the formula,

`m = (Rise)/(Run) = (y_(2)-y_(1) )/(x_(2)-x_(1) )`

Here,

`x_(1)=-3,\ y_(1)=2\\x_(2)=4,\ y_(2)=2`

Putting these values in formula;

`m=(2-2)/(4-(-3)) \\m = (0)/(4+3)\\m = (0)/(7) = 0`

Hence,

The line has a slope of zero which means the line is a horizontal line.
