Question

Find the slope of the line through the given points.
(-8,5),(-2,5)

Answer 1

Answer: The slope is 0 (undefined)

Explanation:

A simple way to find slope of a line when given two points is to employ the use of a formula that essentially calculates it for you. This formula is (y2-y1)/(x2-x1) with y representing the y coordinates and x representing the x coordinates. For example you could write this as (5-5)/(-2-(-8)) which of course gives you an answer of 0 (undefined) because anything divided by 0 is automatically 0 (undefined) and as we see in our formula we are subtracting 5 from 5.

Answer 2

the slope of the line=0/6

Explanation:

you can use the formula `y-y/`x-x, where (-8,5)=(x,y) and (-2,5)=(`x,`y)

5-5/-2--8

5-5/-2+8

0/6

Therefore, the slope of the line=0/6
