- Slope Formula: [tex]\displaystyle m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1: Define
Point (5, 9)
Point (-3, 9)
Step 2: Identify
x₁ = 5, y = 9
x₂ = -3. y = 9
Step 3: Find slope m
Simply plug in the 2 coordinates into the slope formula to find slope m
- Substitute in points [Slope Formula]: [tex]\displaystyle m=\frac{9-9}{-3-5}[/tex]
- [Slope] [Fraction] Subtract: [tex]\displaystyle m=\frac{0}{-8}[/tex]
- [Slope] [Fraction] Divide: [tex]\displaystyle m=0[/tex]
