Answer:

slope is 0, line is horizontal

Explanation:

First we will have to find the slope

Slope is equal to: y2-y1/x2-x1 (rise/run)

So let's label the points

(3,-6), (6, -6)

x1=3

y1=-6

x2=6

y=-6

now plug those into the equation

-6-(-6)/6-3= 0/3=0

since the slope is equal to 0, that means the line is horizontal

If you're confused, maybe the included attachment might help.

Hope this helps!

Answer:

see below

Explanation:

We have two points, so we can use the slope formula

m = ( y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

= ( -6- -6)/( 6-3)

= ( -6+6)/( 6-3)

= 0/3

= 0

The slope is zero

This means that it is a horizontal line ( the y value does not change)
