Answer:

0

Explanation:

Slope of a line which passes through two points (x1,y1) and (x2,y2) is given by:

\frac{y2-y1}{x2-x1}

(x1,y1) = (-3,2)

(x2,y2) = (1,2)

Substituting the values in the equation to determine the slope of the line:

= \frac{2-2}{1-(-3)}

= \frac{0}{4}

=0

So the slope of the given line is 0.

This is intuitively evident as well as the y coordinates of the two given points are the same.
