How do you find the slope for Y= 5?

Answer 1

Avery Alexander

See a solution explanation below:

By definition the equation of a horizontal line is #y = a# where #a# is a constant, in this case #5#.

Also, by definition, the slope of a horizontal line is #0#

Therefore, the slope of #y = 5# is #0#

#slope = 0#

#slope = (Deltay)/(Deltax)#

Therefore, with #y=5# for any #x# :

#slope = (5-5)/(Deltax)#

#slope =0#

For the equation ( y = 5 ), the slope is 0 because the equation represents a horizontal line where the ( y )-coordinate remains constant regardless of the ( x )-coordinate.

When evaluating a one-sided limit, you need to be careful when a quantity is approaching zero since its sign is different depending on which way it is approaching zero from. Let us look at some examples.
