What is the slope of the line that passes through the points(-4, 0) and (2, 0)?
Write your answer in simplest form.

Respuesta :

Given:

Two points are (-4, 0) and (2, 0).

To find:

The slope of the line that passes through the given points.

Solution:

The line passes through the points (-4, 0) and (2, 0). So, the slope of the line is

[tex]m=\dfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}[/tex]

[tex]m=\dfrac{0-0}{2-(-4)}[/tex]

[tex]m=\dfrac{0}{2+4}[/tex]

[tex]m=\dfrac{0}{6}[/tex]

[tex]m=0[/tex]

Therefore, the slope of the line that passes through the points (-4, 0) and (2, 0) is 0.
