00

Explanation:

The formula to find slope is:

m=(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)m=y2y1x2x1

Where mm is the slope

(x_1,y_1)(x1,y1) and (x_2,y_2)(x2,y2)

Next plug in both set of parenthesis into the equation

m=(5-5)/(-1-2)m=5512

Solve numerator (top) and denominator (bottom)

m=0/-3=0m=03=0

Because the slope is 00, the line is horizontal because it has all the same yy coordinate points
