Answer:

Slope: 0

Explanation:

We have to find the slope of the line with the given points.

To find the slope, we would use the slope formula: m = y2-y1/x2-x1, where as "m" is the slope.

Plug in your coordinates and solve.

Solve:

m = -7 - (-7)/-2 - 4

m = -7 + 7/-2 - 4

m = 0/-6

Divide -6 from 0.

m = 0

You would notice that we have a "0" in our slope. There is no "rise" in the slope.

This means that the slope of our line would be 0.
