Find the slope of the line passing through the points (-6, -6) and (4, -6).
slope:

Slope is Zero 0

Step-by-step explanation:

this is because the line is horizontal and therefore has no slope

  (b) Move down 5 and right 10

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope is the ratio ...

  m = rise/run

Here, the rise is -5 for a run of 10. These can be considered as the directions ...

  (up)/(right)  or  (down)/(left)

For this slope, the ratio is -5 up / 10 right, or -5 down / 10 left. Up and down are opposites, so with the signs removed, this is (5 down, 10 right) or (5 up, 10 left). Only the first of these possibilities is among those listed:

  down 5 and right 10
