Concept explainers
To tell:
Whether the slope of the given line is positive , negative , zero , or undefined . Then find the slope.
Answer to Problem 6E
The slope of the linepassing through the given points is zero.
Explanation of Solution
Given:
A graph:
Concept used:
Calculation:
Upon looking at our given graph, we can see that our given line is a horizontal line and as x increases the yremains same. We can see that the line has no rise, so slope of the given line would be 0.
Now we will find the slope of line.
Let point
Therefore, the slope of the line passing through the given points iszero.
