Question

Find the slope of the line that passes through the pair of points.

(5,-4) AND (9,-4)

USE THE SLOPE FORMULA

Answer 1

0

Explanation:

The slope formula is ...

m = (y2 -y1)/(x2 -x1)

Filling in the given point values, we find the slope to be ...

m = (-4 -(-4))/(9 -5) = 0/4 = 0

The slope is 0.

_____

The y-values are the same at -4, the equation of the line is y = -4. It is a horizontal line with zero slope.
