Answer:

slope=0

Explanation:

Hi there!

We're given a graph with a line and two marked points on the graph: (-1,3) and (3,3)

the formula given for slope calculated from two points is (y2-y1)/(x2-x1), where (x1,y1) and (x2,y2) are points

we have our two points: (-1,3) and (3,3) and we can label them:

x1=-1

y1=3

x2=3

y2=3

now substitute into the formula

note: Remember the formula shows SUBTRACTION, even though we have NEGATIVE numbers. When we simplify, we'll add the numbers.

slope=(3-3)/(3--1)

simplify

slope=0/4

divide

slope=0

Hope this helps!
