A) $m = - \frac { 8 } { 7 }$
B) $m = - \frac { 7 } { 8 }$
C) $m = 1$
D) $m = 0$
E) undefined

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The slope of a line is given by the formula:
$$m=\frac{	ext{rise}}{	ext{run}}=\frac{	ext{change in y}}{	ext{change in x}}$$
So, we can find the slope of the line passing through the given points as follows:
$$m=\frac{6-6}{8-(-7)}=\frac{0}{15}=0$$
Therefore, the slope of the line passing through the given points is $m=0$, which is answer choice D.
