The slope of the line is zero (0).
Given the following points:
- Points on the x-axis = (8, -9)
- Points on the y-axis = (5, 5)
To find the slope of the line, we would use the following formula;
[tex]Slope. \;m = \frac{Change \; in \; y \;axis}{Change \; in \; x \;axis} \\\\Slope. \;m = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}[/tex]
Substituting the points into the formula, we have;
[tex]Slope. \;m = \frac{5 - 5}{-9 - 8}\\\\Slope. \;m = \frac{0}{-17}\\\\Slope. \;m = \frac{0}{-17}[/tex]
Slope, m = 0
Therefore, the slope of the line is zero (0).
