Answer: (3, -3) and (18, -3) is 0

Explanation:

The slope of a line is a measure of the line's steepness, and it is calculated by taking the difference in the y-coordinates of two points on the line, divided by the difference in their x-coordinates. In this case, the line passes through the points (3, -3) and (18, -3), and the y-coordinates of both points are -3. Therefore, the difference in the y-coordinates is 0, and the slope of the line is 0.

To write this answer in simplest form, we can simply express the slope as 0/1, which can be simplified to 0. Therefore, the slope of the line that passes through the points (3, -3) and (18, -3) is 0.

Answer:

0

Explanation:

We can find the slope of the line given two points

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

= ( -3 - -3)/(18 -3)

= (-3+3)/(15

= 0/15

= 0
