give the slope for the following lines:
y+2=0
and x-3=0
your first line is a horizontal line, so its slope is ...
the second equation is a vertical line so its slope is ....
the first is a slope of 0
and the second slope is undefined
correct!
To find the slope of a line, we need to have the equation of the line in the form y = mx + b, where m is the slope of the line. Let's rearrange the given equations to this form.
For the equation y + 2 = 0, we will need to isolate y. Subtracting 2 from both sides, we get:
y = -2
The equation is now in the form y = mx + b, where m = 0. Therefore, the slope of this line is 0.
For the equation x - 3 = 0, we will need to isolate x. Adding 3 to both sides, we get:
x = 3
Again, the equation is in the form y = mx + b, where m = 0. Therefore, the slope of this line is also 0.
So, the slope of both lines y + 2 = 0 and x - 3 = 0 is 0.
