What is the slope of the equation y=x2?

  1. 1

  2. 2

  3. x

  4. 0

The correct answer is: 0

The slope of any quadratic equation, such as y=x^2, is always 0. This is because the slope represents the rate at which the line is changing, and for a parabola, the rate of change is not constant. Option A and B may seem like correct choices, as they represent coefficients in the equation, but they do not accurately represent the slope. Option C, x, is also incorrect because x is a variable and not a constant rate of change. Therefore, the only correct answer is D.
