The slope for the set of coordinates is #0.#

#(10, -6) = color(blue)(x_1 , y_1#

#(2, -6) = color(blue)(x_2 , y_2#

The slope is calculated using formula:
Slope #=color(blue)((y_2 - y_1) / (x_2 - x_1)#

# = (-6 - (-6)) / (2 - 10)#

# = (-6 + 6) / ( - 8)#

# = 0/ (-8)#

# = 0#

The slope for the set of coordinates is #0.#
