Let,
(-3,-1)= (x1,y1)
(-5,-1)= (x2,y2)

Slope(m)= #(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)#
= #(-1-(-1))/(-5-(-3)#
= #0/-2#
=#0#

Thus the slope of the line passing through the given points is 0

Points:

#(x_1,y_1#) and #(x_2,y_2)#

#(-3,-1)# and #(-5,-1)#

Using the slope formula,

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

#m=(-1-(-1))/(-5-(-3))#

#m=(-1+1)/(-1+3)#

#m=(0)/(2)#

#m=0#
