ANSWER

The slope between the two points is 0

Step-by-step explanation

Given that;

(3, 8) and (-4, 8)

Slope is defined as the gradient of a line

The formula for determining slope is given below as


\text{ Slope = }\frac{\text{ rise}}{\text{ run}}

Where

rise = y2 - y1

run = x2 - x1

So, we have


\text{ Slope = }\frac{\text{ y}_2\text{ - y}_1}{\text{ x}_2\text{ - x}_1}

In the given point, let x1 = 3, y1 = 8, x2 = -4 and y2 = 8


\begin{gathered} \text{ slope = }\frac{\text{ 8 - 8}}{\text{ -4 - 3}} \\ \\ \text{ slope = }\frac{\text{ 0}}{\text{ -7 }} \\ \text{ slope = 0} \end{gathered}

Therefore, the slope between the two points is 0
