• Coordinates (x, y)
• Slope Formula: $\displaystyle m = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Define

Identify points

Point (-6, 8)

Point (-1, 8)

Step 2: Find slope m

Simply plug in the 2 coordinates into the slope formula to find slope m

1. Substitute in points [Slope Formula]:                                                              $\displaystyle m = \frac{8 - 8}{-1 - -6}$
2. [Fraction] Subtract:                                                                                            $\displaystyle m = \frac{0}{5}$
3. Divide:                                                                                                                 $\displaystyle m = 0$
