What is the slope of the line that passes through (2, 5) and (-1, 5)?

Solution:

Given, the points (2,5) and (-1, 5).

We have to find the slope of the line passing through the given points.

The slope of the line passing through the two points is given by the two-point form as

\(\frac{y_{2}-y_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}}=m\)

\(\\m=\frac{5-5}{-1-2}\\m=\frac{0}{-3}\)

Therefore, the slope of the line is 0.

What is the slope of the line that passes through (2, 5) and (-1, 5)?

Summary:

The slope of the line passing through the points (2,5) and (-1, 5) is m = 0.
