Answer:

Explanation:

use equation
(y2-y1)/(x2-x1) to calculate the slope, in this case the slope would be
(11-11)/(3-(-2))=(0)/(6) =0

The slope would be 0 for the line,

another way we can tell the slope is 0 is that we can see the two sets of coordinates are on the y=11, they just have different x coordinates.

But the equation above shows the complete work and supported the answer.

Answer:

Slope (m) = 0

Explanation:

Given coordinates,

→ T(-2, 11)

→ U(3, 11)

Formula we use,

→ Slope = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)

Now required slope will be,

→ m = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)

→ m = (11 - 11)/(3 -(-2))

→ m = (0)/(3 + 2)

→ m = 0/6

→ [ m = 0 ]

Therefore, the slope is 0.
