Answer: no slope or 0

Explanation:

The y-coordinates are the same for both points but the x coordinates are different. This signals a no-slope line, or a line where the slope is 0. Even if we apply the formula, which is
(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1), it still ends up with 0.

Answer:

slope = 0

Explanation:

(-3, 2) and (6, 2)

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

remember, either x or y can be used but you have to be consistent

slope = (2-2)/(-3-6)

slope = 0/(-9)

slope = 0
