Question

What is the slope of the line that
passes through these two points?
(-3, 2)
(4, 2)
Remember, Slope
rise (y2-yı)
run (x2-x1)
Simplify your answer completely.

Answer 1

Answer:

The line has a slope of zero which means the line is a horizontal line.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

The two points are (-3,2) and (4,2)

Slope of a line is given by the formula,

$m = \frac{Rise}{Run} = \frac{y_{2}-y_{1} }{x_{2}-x_{1} }$

Here,

$x_{1}=-3,\ y_{1}=2\\x_{2}=4,\ y_{2}=2$

Putting these values in formula;

$m=\frac{2-2}{4-(-3)} \\m = \frac{0}{4+3}\\m = \frac{0}{7} = 0$

Hence,

The line has a slope of zero which means the line is a horizontal line.
