Chapter SH, Problem 8.6.2EP

To determine

To calculate: To find slope of the line

Answer to Problem 8.6.2EP

Slope of the line is $0$

Explanation of Solution

Given information: line is given as

Formula Used:

Slope of line passing through the points $\left(x_1,y_1\right)$ and $\left(x_2,y_2\right)$ is given as

  $m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$

Calculation:

Line is given as follows:

Here, points on line are $\left(-2,-2\right)$ and $\left(3,-2\right)$

Slope of the line passing through the point is calculated as

  $m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_{}}$

  $\begin{array}{l}m=\frac{-2-\left(-2\right)}{3-\left(-2\right)}\\ m=\frac{-2+2}{3+2}\\ m=\frac{0}{5}\\ m=0\end{array}$

Substituting the value in above formula,

Conclusion:

Hence, slope of the line is $0$
