Given:
(5, 0)
(-3, 0)
x1 = 5
x2 = -3
y1= 0
y2 = 0
Find the slope of the line.
Formula for the slope of the line:
m = change in y/ change in x
m = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)
Solution:
Substitute the given values to the formula for the slope of the line.
m = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)
m = (0 - 0)/(3 - 5)
m = (0)/(2)
m = 0
Final answer:
The slope of the line = 0
