Question

What is the slope of the line represented by the equation y = 7?

Answer 1

Slope`=0`.

Explanation:

Observe that the line represented by the eqn. `y=7` is a Horizontal Line, i.e., parallel to X-axis.

Recall that slope is a measure of inclination of a line with the `+ve` direction of X-axis.

From the above, we find that the slope of a Horizontal line is `0`.

In another way, formula to find the slope of a line represented by the eqn.`: ax+by+c=0` is slope`=-a/b`.

In our case, since, `a=0, b=1,c=-7`, we get the slope`=-0/1=0`, as shown earlier1
