Answer 1

To find the slope of the line that passes through the points (1, 2) and (5, 2), we use the slope formula:

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

Here, \((x_1, y_1) = (1, 2)\) and \((x_2, y_2) = (5, 2)\).

Plugging in the values:

\[
m = \frac{2 - 2}{5 - 1} = \frac{0}{4} = 0
\]

The slope of the line is \(0\), indicating that it is a horizontal line.

So the answer is:

**0**
