Question

What is the slope of the line that passes through the points (2, 0) and (1,0)? Write your answer in simplest form.

Answer 1

Answer: slope = 0

Explanation:

The formula for calculating slope is given as :

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

`x_(1)` = 2

`x_(2)` = 1

`y_(1)` = 0

`y_(2)` = 0

Substituting into the formula , we have

m =
`(0)/(-1)`

m = 0
