Question

How do you find slope (-6, -4); (4, -4)?

Answer 1

• The Y-coordinates of the two points are the same.
  It means that the line will be Parallel to the X Axis . A line parallel to the X axis (a horizontal line) has a Slope of Zero (No Steepness, No Inclination)

If we have to provide an explanation with numbers, here is how it would look:

• `Slope` = `(Rise)/(Run)`
  The `Rise` is the Difference of the Y coordinates of any two points on the line
  And the `Run` is the Difference of the X coordinates of those two points

• If the coordinates of the points are `(x_1,y_1) and (x_2,y_2)`, then `Slope = (y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)`
  Here, the coordinates are `(-6,-4)` and `(4,-4)`

`Slope = (-4-(-4))/(4-(-6))`
As the Numerator will equal Zero, we can say that the Slope of the Line is ZERO
