Chapter 3, Problem 4SGR

To determine

To find: Whether given statement is TRUE or FALSE

Answer to Problem 4SGR

FALSE

Correct statement is Slope of line $y=5$ is $0$

Explanation of Solution

Given information:

Slope of the line $y=5$ is $5$ .

Concept used:

If equation in the form

  $y=mx+c$

  $m$ = slope of the line

  $c$ = Y-intercept.

Given equation is $y=5$ and slope $=5$

  $\begin{array}{l}y=5\\ \Rightarrow y=0+5\\ \Rightarrow y=\left(0\right)x+5\end{array}$

Comparing with general equation

We get

Slope = $m=0$ .

But given Slope is $5$ .

So, given statement is FALSE.

Correct statement is Slope of line $y=5$ is $0$
