Question

find the slope of the line $y = \frac{5}{6}$. 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 is \( \frac{\text{rise}}{\text{run}} \).

Step2: Identify the line type

The line \( y=\frac{5}{6} \) is a horizontal line since it has the form \( y = k \) with \( k=\frac{5}{6} \).

Answer:

\( 0 \)
