The slope of a line passing through two points (x₁, y₁) and (x₂, y₂) can be determined using the formula:
slope = (y₂ - y₁) / (x₂ - x₁)
In this case, the two points are (6,2) and (-18,2). Substituting the values into the formula, we get:
slope = (2 - 2) / (-18 - 6) = 0 / -24 = 0
Therefore, the slope of the line passing through these two points is 0.
What is the slope of the line that passes through the points left bracket, 6, comma, 2, right bracket(6,2) and left bracket, minus, 18, comma, 2, right bracket(−18,2)? Write your answer in simplest form.
