Question

what is the slope of the line if the coordinates are (-2, 3) (2, 3)

Answer 1

To find the slope of a line given two points, you use the formula for slope (m):

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

Here, the points are given as \((-2, 3)\) and \((2, 3)\).

Let \((x_1, y_1) = (-2, 3)\) and \((x_2, y_2) = (2, 3)\).

Substituting the 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 indicates that the line is horizontal.
