Final answer:

The slope of the line that passes through the points (3, -3) and (18, -3) is 0.

Step-by-step explanation:

In geometry and mathematics, slope refers to the measure of the steepness of a line. It is defined as the ratio of the vertical change (the difference in the y-coordinates of two points on the line, often denoted as x' to the horizontal change (the difference in the x-coordinates of the same two points, often denoted as y'

The slope of a line passing through two points can be calculated using the formula:

m = (Y2 - Y1) / (X2 - X1)

Given the points (3, -3) and (18, -3), the slope can be calculated as follows:

m = (-3 - (-3)) / (18 - 3) = 0 / 15 = 0

Answer:

0 (its a straight line horizontal)

Step-by-step explanation:

-3+3=0

18-3=15

0/15 = 0

slope=0
