To find the slope between two points, we use the slope formula, where m (slope) = y1-y2/x1-x2.

If we plug in the respective y and x values into the equation, we get:

(3-3) / (-5-2)

If we combine like terms in the numerator and the denominator, we get:

0/-7, which equals 0.

Therefore, the slope between these two points is 0.

Hope this helps!
