(\stackrel{x_1}{8}~,~\stackrel{y_1}{-4})\qquad (\stackrel{x_2}{2}~,~\stackrel{y_2}{-4}) \\\\\\ \stackrel{slope}{m}\implies \cfrac{\stackrel{\textit{\large rise}} {\stackrel{y_2}{-4}-\stackrel{y1}{(-4)}}}{\underset{\textit{\large run}} {\underset{x_2}{2}-\underset{x_1}{8}}} \implies \cfrac{-4 +4}{-6} \implies \cfrac{ 0 }{ -6 } \implies \text{\LARGE 0}
