Answer:

slope = 0

Explanation:

Use formula to find the slope: m = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)

Set (x1, y1) = (-7, 5)

Set (x2, y2) = (2, 5)

m = (5 - 5) / (2 - (-7))

m = (5 - 5) / (2 + 7) FYI, negative * negative = positive

m = 0 / 9

If you plot the coordinates, they'll lie on a horizontal line. Therefore, the slope of the line is 0.
