Find the slope of the line passing through the points (-7, 5) and (2,5).

slope = 0

Step-by-step explanation:

Use formula to find the slope: m = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)

Set (x1, y1) = (-7, 5)

Set (x2, y2) = (2, 5)

m = (5 - 5) / (2 - (-7))

m = (5 - 5) / (2 + 7)       FYI, negative * negative = positive

m = 0 / 9

If you plot the coordinates, they'll lie on a horizontal line. Therefore, the slope of the line is 0.

step-by-step explanation:

step 1 distribute 2 to every term in the parentheses

step 2 add 10 on both sides of the equal sign
