Chapter 8.6, Problem 84S

To determine

To Find : The slope of the line that passes through the given points

Answer to Problem 84S

The slope for the pair of points (-2,3) and (5,3) is 0

Explanation of Solution

Given information:

This is the given information.

The pair of points (-2,3) and (5,3)

Calculation:

The slope of line passing from two points $\left(x_1,y_1\right)$ . and $\left(x_2,y_2\right)$ is given as,

  $m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$

Calculate the slope at points (-2,3) and (5,3) as follows:

  $m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$

  $=\frac{3-3}{5-(-2)}(-2,3)=\left(x_1,y_1\right)$ and $(5,3)=\left(x_2,y_2\right)$

  $=0$

Hence, the slope for the pair of points (-2,3) and (5,3) is 0
