What is the slope of the line that passed through the points (1,-7) and (10,-7)

Sagot :

Answer:

the slope is 0

Step-by-step explanation:

We can see by reading the coordinates of the points that they have the same y coordinate -7 so we can tell from the beginning  that the slope is 0 because the line going trough the points will NOT go up or down will STAY FLAT at -7.

OR we can actually calculate the slope

The slope of a line in general is m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

The slope of the line the line that passed through the points

(x1 = 1, y1 = -7) and (x2 = 10, y2 = -7) is

m = (-7- -7) / (10-1) =

m = (-7+7)/(10-1)

m = 0/9

m =0

The slope 0 tells us that the two points are on a horizontal line.
