Algebra I

• Coordinates (x, y)
• Slope Formula:
  `\displaystyle m = (y_2 - y_1)/(x_2 - x_1)`

Explanation:

Step 1: Define

Identify points

Point (-6, 8)

Point (-1, 8)

Step 2: Find slope m

Simply plug in the 2 coordinates into the slope formula to find slope m

1. Substitute in points [Slope Formula]:
   `\displaystyle m = (8 - 8)/(-1 - -6)`
2. [Fraction] Subtract:
   `\displaystyle m = (0)/(5)`
3. Divide:
   `\displaystyle m = 0`
