Question

11. 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

The line has a undefined slope.

Answer 2

D. The line has a zero slope.

Explanation:

The question is asking us to find the slope, given two points.

Whenever we need to find the slope and we have two points, we use the slope formula:

`\bold{m=(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)}`

Plug in the data.

`\bf{m=(4-4)/(3-(-2))}`

Simplify and watch what happens.

`\bf{m=(0)/(3+2)}`

`\bf{m=(0)/(5)}`

`\bf{m=0}`

`\rule{350}{1}`

Therefore, D is correct. The line has a zero slope.
