Question

What is the slope of the line that passes through the points (5, -6) and (9, -6)? Write your answer in the simplest form.

Answer 1

Answer:

Slope = 0

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope = $\frac{y_{2} -y_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}}$

Slope = $\frac{-6 -(-6)}{9-5} = \frac{-6+6}{4} =\frac{0}{4} = 0$

Also, just by looking at these points you can determine that the slope is zero because the y value does not change between these points.
