Given:

There are given that the two points;


(-1,7)\text{ and (-8,7)}

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the slope of the line from the given point, we need to use the slope formula:

So,

From the formula of the slope:


m=(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)

Where,


x_1=-1,y_1=7,x_2=-8,y_2=7_{}

Then,

Put all the above values into the given formula:;

So,


\begin{gathered} m=(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1) \\ m=\frac{7_{}-7_{}}{-8_{}-(-1)_{}} \end{gathered}

Then,


\begin{gathered} m=\frac{7_{}-7_{}}{-8_{}+1_{}} \\ m=(0)/(-7) \\ m=0 \end{gathered}

Final answer:

The slope of the given line is 0.

Hence, the correct option is B (0)
