Answer:

The slope of the line is 9.

Explanation:

To find the slope of the line that passes through the points (6,-5) and (-6, -5), we can use the formula:

slope = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)

where (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) are the coordinates of the two points. In this case, we have:

x1 = 6, y1 = -5 x2 = -6, y2 = -5

Plugging these values into the formula, we get:

slope = (-5 - (-5)) / (-6 - 6) slope = (0) / (-12) slope = 0

Therefore, the slope of the line is 0. This means that the line is horizontal and parallel to the x-axis.
