Question 7Find the slope of the line that goes through the given points.(-1, 7).(-8, 7)1092

Answer 1

Given:

There are given that the two points;

$(-1,7)\text{ and (-8,7)}$

Explanation:

To find the slope of the line from the given point, we need to use the slope formula:

So,

From the formula of the slope:

$m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$

Where,

$x_1=-1,y_1=7,x_2=-8,y_2=7_{}$

Then,

Put all the above values into the given formula:;

So,

$\begin{gathered} m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1} \\ m=\frac{7_{}-7_{}}{-8_{}-(-1)_{}} \end{gathered}$

Then,

$\begin{gathered} m=\frac{7_{}-7_{}}{-8_{}+1_{}} \\ m=\frac{0}{-7} \\ m=0 \end{gathered}$

Final answer:

The slope of the given line is 0.

Hence, the correct option is B (0)
