Answer:

0

Explanation:

(-9,5) and (-1,5)

To find the slope of the line, we use the slope formula: (y₂ - y₁) / (x₂ - x₁)

Plug in these values:

(5 - 5) / (-1 - 9)

Simplify the parentheses.

= (0 ) / (-10)

Simplify the fraction.

0/-10

= 0

This is your slope.

This is also a horizontal line, which will have a slope of 0.

Slope = change in Y / change in x:

Slope = (5- 5) / (-1 - -9)

Slope = 0/8

Because the change in Y = 0, the slope = 0

Slope = 0
