Question

How do you find the slope of (–10, –2) and (0, –2)?

Answer 1

The slope `=0`

Explanation:

`(-10 , -2) = color(blue)(x_1 , y_1)`

`(0 , -2) = color(blue)(x_2 , y_2)`

Slope is calculated using formula:
Slope `= color(blue)((y_2 - y_1)/ (x_2 - x_1)` (change in`y` axis divided by change in `x` axis)

`= (-2- (-2)) /( 0 - (-10))`

`= (-2 + 2 ) /( 10) = 0 / 10 = 0`

The slope `=0`
