Chapter 13.2, Problem 2CE

To determine

To find the slope of the line with given two points on line $\left(-3,-2\right)$ and $\left(4,-2\right)$ .

Answer to Problem 2CE

The slope of line is $0$ .

Explanation of Solution

Given:

Calculation:

Slope of a line when two points $\left(x_1,y_1\right)$ and $\left(x_2,y_2\right)$ are given is

  $m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$

Since, the two points given are $\left(-3,-2\right)$ and $\left(4,-2\right)$

So,

  $m=\frac{\left(-2\right)-\left(-2\right)}{\left(4\right)-\left(-3\right)}=0$

Therefore the slope of line is $0$ .
