To find the slope of the line that passes through these points, we don't need to graph the line but we can use our slope formula.

The formula to find the slope using two points is:


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

In this case...


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

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


(4-4)/(-2 - 3)


(0)/(-5)

0

^^^This is your slope. This means that your line is horizontal

Hope this helped!
