Question 57262: I need some help on finding the slope of the graphed line I will described the best I can for you.
I have a graph where the x-axis meets the y-axis.
I have a line like this < ________________> 3 bars up from the middle.
What would the slope be?
Thanks for the help, Lisa

Hi Lisa,
I saw your equation about trying to graph x On to this question...
:
I have a graph where the x-axis meets the y-axis.
I have a line like this < ________________> 3 bars up from the middle.
What would the slope be?
If this is your graph:
graph%28300%2C200%2C-10%2C10%2C-10%2C10%2C3%29
The slope is 0 it isn't going up or down at any point.
The slope of all horizontal lines is 0.
If you think about the formula for slope: highlight%28m=%28y2-y1%29%2F%28x2-x1%29%29, if the y's are always the same, the numerator will always be 0, thus the slope will always be 0.
Happy Calculating, Lisa!!!
