Answer:

Slope = 0

Explanation:

Given two points on a line:


\begin{gathered} (x_1,y_1)=(0,3) \\ \left(x_2,y_2\right)=\left(-2,3\right) \end{gathered}

To find the slope of the line, we use the formula below:


\text{Slope},m=\frac{Change\text{ in y-axis}}{Change\text{ in x-axis}}=(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)

Substitute the given values:


m=(3-3)/(-2-0)=(0)/(-2)=0

The slope of the line is 0.

Note: The line is a horizontal line passing through y=3. In general, the slope of any horizontal line is always 0.
