Question

How do you find the slope of the line passing through the given points: (-6,4) and (2,4)?

Answer 1

The slope of a straight line for any two points, `(x_1,y_1)` and `(x_2,y_2)`, on the line
is given by
`(Delta y)/(Delta x) = (y_2 - y_1)/(x_2 - x_1)`

or for this particular example
slope `= (4-4)/(2+6) = 0`
(the line is a horizontal line)
