Answer & Analysis
Answer
A
Analysis
To determine which pair of points would yield a line with a zero slope, we'll use the slope formula . A zero slope occurs when the change in the -values between the two points is zero, meaning .
Let's calculate the slope for each pair of points:
A.For the points and :
B.For the points and :
Here, the denominator is
