Question

What is the slope of a line passing through the points (2,3)

and (5,3)?
Enter your answer as a number, like this: 42

Or, if the slope is undefined, enter a lowercase letter "u," like this: u

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, 3 ) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (5, 3 )

m =
`(3-3)/(5-2)` =
`(0)/(3)` = 0

a line with a slope of zero is a horizontal line parallel to the x- axis
