Correct Option: B
The gradient (m) of a line joining two points (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) is given by the formula:
m = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)
In this case, the points are (1, 3) and (5, 3). Therefore:
x1 = 1, y1 = 3
x2 = 5, y2 = 3
Substituting these values into the formula:
m = (3 - 3) / (5 - 1)
m = 0 / 4
m = 0
Therefore, the gradient of the line is 0.
