What is the slope of a line passing through te points (6,4) and (4,4)?

Question

What is the slope of a line passing through te points (6,4) and (4,4)?

Answer 1

They both have the same y value, meaning the line is horizontal.  Specifically, these points are on the line y = 4.

Slope = 0

You can also use the slope formula:

m = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)

m = (4 - 4) / (4 - 6)

m = 0 / -2

m = 0

P.S.  If you ever get a value of 0 in the *denominator* that means you have a vertical line with infinite or undefined slope.

Answer 2

The slope formula is  m=(y1-y2)/(x1-x2)

Using the points (6,4) and (4,4) we get

m=(4-4)/(6-4)= 0/2=0

So the slope is equal to 0.

Hope this helps :)

Answer 3

The formula for finding the slope of two sets of coordinates id (Y2-Y1) divided by (X2-X1).  If you use that formula it would look like this:

(4-4) divided by (4-6), which would be 0/-2.  If you plot them on a graph, you will see that there is no slope, so the slope is zero.

Answer 4

there both on the same line so you already know the slope is going to be 0 because its a horizontal line.

if the line was vertical it would be unidentified or no slope

you could also use the slope of a line formula which is

m= y2-Y1/X2-X1

hope i helped. :)
