Question

Find the slope of the line passing through each of the following pairs of points and draw the graph of the line. d (4, −4), (2, −4)

Answer 1

Answer & Step-by-step explanation:

Use the slope formula:

`(y_(2)-y_(1))/(x_(2)-x_(1))=(rise)/(run)`

The slope is the change in the y-axis over the change in the x-axis, otherwise known as rise over run. Insert values:

`(x_(1),y_(1))(x_(2),y_(2))\\\\(-4-(-4))/(2-4)`

Simplify. Two negatives make a positive:

`(-4+4)/(2-4)`

Solve:

`(0)/(-2) =-(0)/(2) =0`

The slope is 0. Plot the two points on a graph and connect with a straight line:
