Question 1196941: Which describes the slope of a line that passes through the points A( 2, 0) and B( 14, 0)?

Both points involve the same y coordinate (0)
This means the two points are on the same horizontal level. They are both on the horizontal x axis.

Horizontal lines always have a slope of 0.
slope = rise/run
In this case the rise is 0 to indicate we don't go up or down. There's no change in the y value.

If you wanted to involve the slope formula, then this is one way to do so
(x1,y1) = (2,0) and (x2,y2) = (14,0)
