What is the slope of the line that passes through the points left parenthesis, 2, comma, 2, right parenthesis(2,2) and left parenthesis, 14, comma, 2, right parenthesis(14,2)? Write your answer in simplest form.

To find the slope of the line that passes through the points \((2, 2)\) and \((14, 2)\), we use the formula for the slope of a line:

\[
\text{slope} = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}
\]

Here, \((x_1, y_1) = (2, 2)\) and \((x_2, y_2) = (14, 2)\).

Substituting the values into the formula:

\[
\text{slope} = \frac{2 - 2}{14 - 2} = \frac{0}{12} = 0
\]

The slope of the line is \(0\).

1. What does a slope of 0 indicate about the line?
2. How do you find the slope if the points are vertically aligned?
3. What is the equation of a line with a slope of 0 passing through \((2,2)\)?
4. How does the slope change if the points were reversed?
5. What would the slope be if the points were \((2, 2)\) and \((2, 14)\)?

**Tip:** A slope of 0 means the line is horizontal, indicating that the y-coordinate remains constant as the x-coordinate changes.
