Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The slope of a line passing through two points (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) is given by the formula: 
slope = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)

Using the given points: 
(x1, y1) = (4, 3.1)
(x2, y2) = (-3.8, 3.1)

slope = (3.1 - 3.1) / (-3.8 - 4) = 0/(-7.8) = 0

Therefore, the slope of the line passing through the given pair of points is 0. Choice D is the correct answer.
