Answer:
- zero
- parallel to the x-axis
Explanation:
You want to know the slope of the line segment between (-4, -3) and (3, -3), and its relation to the x-axis.
Slope
The slope of a line between two points (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) is given by the formula ...
m = (y2 -y1)/(x2 -x1)
For the given points, the slope is ...
m = (-3 -(-3))/(3 -(-4)) = 0/7 = 0
The slope of the line segment is zero.
The line segment has the same slope as the x-axis. It is parallel to the x-axis.

Additional comment
The equation of the line segment is ...
y = -3 . . . for -4 ≤ x ≤ 3
The equation of the x-axis is ...
y = 0
