Question

How do you find the slope of the line passing through (-2,4) and (2,4)?

Answer 1

m=0

Explanation:

Slope is calculated as the change in y over the change is x (you may have heard of this referred to as "rise over run"). So essentially, how fast is the graph increasing or decreasing?

We use a simple formula to find slope, `m=(Deltay)/(Deltax)`, where `Deltay` is the difference between the two y-values of the endpoints, and `Deltax` is the difference of the x-values.

In this case, `Deltay = 4-4 = 0`, and `Deltax = 2-(-2) = 4`. Therefore, `m=0/4=0`
