Find the Slope (7,3) , (-5,3)

$(7, 3)$ , $(- 5, 3)$

Step 1

Slope is equal to the change in $y$ over the change in $x$ , or rise over run.

$m = \frac{change in y}{change in x}$

Step 2

The change in $x$ is equal to the difference in x-coordinates (also called run), and the change in $y$ is equal to the difference in y-coordinates (also called rise).

$m = \frac{y_{2} - y_{1}}{x_{2} - x_{1}}$

Step 3

Substitute in the values of $x$ and $y$ into the equation to find the slope.

$m = \frac{3 - (3)}{- 5 - (7)}$

Step 4

Simplify.

Simplify the numerator.

Multiply $- 1$ by $3$ .

$m = \frac{3 - 3}{- 5 - (7)}$

Subtract $3$ from $3$ .

$m = \frac{0}{- 5 - (7)}$

Simplify the denominator.

Multiply $- 1$ by $7$ .

$m = \frac{0}{- 5 - 7}$

Subtract $7$ from $- 5$ .

$m = \frac{0}{- 12}$

Divide $0$ by $- 12$ .

$m = 0$

Step 5

Find the Slope (7,3) , (-5,3)
