Answer: slope = 0

Work Shown:

Use the slope formula

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

m = (3-3)/(2-10)

m = 0/(-8)

m = 0

The slope of any horizontal line is always zero due to the fact all y coordinates on this line are the same. When we pick two points from the line, the same y coordinates subtract to 0. We can have 0 in the numerator, but not in the denominator.

As the slope formula shows, we basically subtract the y coordinates together, and do the same for the x coordinates as well in the same order. Then we divide the differences.

Slope: (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
(3-3)/(2-10) = 0/-8 = 0
The slope is 0
