The slope #=0#

Explanation:

#(-10 , -2) = color(blue)(x_1 , y_1)#

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

Slope is calculated using formula:
Slope #= color(blue)((y_2 - y_1)/ (x_2 - x_1)# (change in# y# axis divided by change in #x# axis)

#= (-2- (-2)) /( 0 - (-10))#

#= (-2 + 2 ) /( 10) = 0 / 10 = 0#

The slope #=0#
