  • (2,-8)
  • (-4,-8)

Slope:-


\\ \rm\dashrightarrow m=(-8+8)/(-4-2)


\\ \rm\dashrightarrow m=(0)/(-6)


\\ \rm\dashrightarrow m=0

Answer:

0

Explanation:

Given

  • (2, -8) → (x₁, y₁)
  • (-4, -8) → (x₂, y₂)

Formula

  • Slope (m) = Δy/Δx = y₂ - y₁ / x₂ - x₁

Solving

  • m = -8 + 8 / -4 - 2
  • m = 0
