Question

Which statement is true for a line that passes through points (–2, 4) and (3, 4)?

A. The line has a negative slope.
B. The line has a positive slope.
C. The line has an undefined slope.
D. The line has a zero slope.

Answer 1

To determine the slope of a line passing through two points, we can use the slope formula: slope = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1). Let’s calculate it for the given points (-2, 4) and (3, 4):

Slope = (4 - 4) / (3 - (-2))
Slope = 0 / 5
Slope = 0

Since the slope of the line is zero, the correct statement is:

D. The line has a zero slope.
