-$( - 7 , - 10 )$ and $( 5 , - 10 )$
A) 1
B) 0
C) Undefined
D) 12

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The slope of a line passing through two points $(x_1, y_1)$ and $(x_2, y_2)$ is given by $m = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}$. Substituting the given points, we get $m = \frac{-10 - (-10)}{5 - (-7)} = \frac{0}{12} = 0$. Therefore, the slope is 0, indicating a horizontal line.
