Question

Plot the points and determine the slope of the line containing them. Graph the line.

Answer 1

We were given the following details:

`\begin{gathered} (x_1,y_1)=(-2,-4) \\ (x_2,y_2)=(7,-4) \end{gathered}`

We will proceed to graph these points, we have:

The slope is given by:

`\begin{gathered} slope(m)=(\Delta y)/(\Delta x)=(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1) \\ slope(m)=(-4-(-4))/(7-(-2)) \\ slope(m)=(0)/(9)=0 \\ slope(m)=0 \\ \\ \therefore slope(m)=0 \end{gathered}`

Hence, the slope (m) = 0
