Question

Find the slope of the line that contains the given two point (0,3) and (-2,3)

Answer 1

Answer:

Slope = 0

Explanation:

Given two points on a line:

$\begin{gathered} (x_1,y_1)=(0,3) \\ \left(x_2,y_2\right)=\left(-2,3\right) \end{gathered}$

To find the slope of the line, we use the formula below:

$\text{Slope},m=\frac{Change\text{ in y-axis}}{Change\text{ in x-axis}}=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$

Substitute the given values:

$m=\frac{3-3}{-2-0}=\frac{0}{-2}=0$

The slope of the line is 0.

Note: The line is a horizontal line passing through y=3. In general, the slope of any horizontal line is always 0.
