Find the Slope (4,-2) , (7,-2)

Problem

(4,−2),(7,−2)

Solution

1. Identify the coordinates of the two given points as ((x_1),(y_1))=(4,−2) and ((x_2),(y_2))=(7,−2)

2. Apply the formula for the slope m of a line passing through two points.

m=((y_2)−(y_1))/((x_2)−(x_1))

3. Substitute the values into the formula.

m=(−2−(−2))/(7−4)

4. Simplify the numerator and the denominator.

m=(−2+2)/3

m=0/3

5. Calculate the final value.

m=0

Final Answer

m=0
