Answer:

The slope is 0.

Explanation:

To solve this problem, first you have to use the slope formula of
\displaystyle (y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)=(rise)/(run).


y_2=5\\\\y_1=5\\\\x_2=4\\\\x_1=(-3)\\

Solve.


\displaystyle (5-5)/(4-(-3))=(0)/(7)=0

In conclusion, the correct answer is 0.

Hope this helps!

Have a wonderful blessing day! :)

Good luck! :)

Finding the slope using two points:

The formula for slope is


(y_(2)-y_(1))/(x_(2)-x_(1))

In this case you have the points (-3, 5) and (4, 5):


y_(2) =5\\y_(1) =5\\x_(2) =4\\x_(1) =-3

^^^Plug these numbers into the formula for slope...


(5-5)/(4 - (-3))


(0)/(7)

0

^^^This is your slope

Hope this helped!
