Answer:

m=0

Explanation:

The slope formula is: m=y1=y2/x2=x1

where (x₁, y₁) and (x₂,y₂) are the points on the line.

The points given are (-2,8) and (-22,8). Therefore,

x1=-2

y1=8

x2=-22

y2=8

Substitute the values into the formula.

m=8-8/-22-2

Solve the numerator. Subtract 8 from 8.

m=0/-22+2

Zero divided by any number is zero, so we automatically know the slope is zero.

m=0

The slope of the line is 0
