Answer:

The slope is 0.

Explanation:

Using the slope formula which is m= y2 - y1 / x2 - x1, plug in the x values and y values of the two points. (12,-18) is x1 and y1. (-15,-18) is x2 and y2.

When plugging it in we get -18 - (-18)/ -15 - 12. You cannot subtract a negative so it turns from subtraction to addition. So, -18 + 18 / -15 - 12 which equals 0/-27. 0 divided by any number is 0. So the slope is 0, m=0.

Hope this helps :)
