Question

find the slope of the line ( y = -\frac{3}{2} ).
write your answer as an integer or as a simplified proper or improper fraction

Explanation:

Step1: Recall slope of horizontal line

A horizontal line has the equation \( y = k \) (where \( k \) is a constant). The slope of a horizontal line is 0 because there is no change in \( y \) (rise) for any change in \( x \) (run), and slope \( m=\frac{\text{rise}}{\text{run}}=\frac{0}{\text{run}} = 0 \) (for non - zero run).

Step2: Identify the type of line \( y=-\frac{3}{2} \)

The line \( y = -\frac{3}{2} \) is a horizontal line since it is in the form \( y=k \) (here \( k = -\frac{3}{2} \)).

Answer:

\( 0 \)
