Question

Find the slope of the line that passes through (2,-5) and (7,-5)

Answer 1

slope = 0

Explanation:

calculate the slope m using the slope formula

m =
`(y_(2)-y_(1) )/(x_(2)-x_(1) )`

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (2, - 5 ) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (7, - 5 )

m =
`(-5-(-5))/(7-2)` =
`(-5+5)/(5)` =
`(0)/(5)` = 0
