from -3 to 10 are 13 steps to the right and from -5 to -5 0 steps up or down.

devide the steps up by the steps to the right

0 / 13 = 0

in this case it's obvious, but I hope you see the method how to do this. you would normally get a more interesting fraction as a slope.

Answer:

0

Explanation:


m = (y_2 - y_1)/(x_2 - x_1)


m = (-5 - (-5))/(-3 - 10)


m = (0)/(-13)


m = 0
