Question

What is the slope of this line?
1,3 5,3

Answer 1

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

\[
m = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}
\]

Here, the points given are \((1, 3)\) and \((5, 3)\). We can assign:
- \((x_1, y_1) = (1, 3)\)
- \((x_2, y_2) = (5, 3)\)

Now, plug in the values into the formula:

\[
m = \frac{3 - 3}{5 - 1} = \frac{0}{4} = 0
\]

The slope of the line is \(0\), which indicates that the line is horizontal.
