Q. A line has a slope of 0 and includes the points (5,g) and (−7,−7). What is the value of g?g=___
Identify Horizontal Line: Since the slope of the line is 0, this means that the line is horizontal and the y-values for all points on the line are the same.
Determine Y-Coordinate Equality: To find the value of g, we can use the fact that the y-coordinate of the point (5,g) must be the same as the y-coordinate of the point (−7,−7) because the slope is 0.
Calculate Value of g: Therefore, g must be equal to −7, because that is the y-coordinate of the second point given.
