Question

What is the slope of this line?
-2,3 2,3

Answer 1

To find the slope of a line given two points, you can use the formula:

\[
\text{slope} (m) = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}
\]

Given the points (-2, 3) and (2, 3):

\[
x_1 = -2, \quad y_1 = 3
\]
\[
x_2 = 2, \quad y_2 = 3
\]

Now plug these values into the slope formula:

\[
m = \frac{3 - 3}{2 - (-2)} = \frac{0}{2 + 2} = \frac{0}{4} = 0
\]

The slope of the line is \(0\). This means the line is horizontal.
