• Slope Formula: $\displaystyle m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Define

Point (-5, 8)

Point (-11, 8)

Step 2: Find slope m

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

1. Substitute in points [SF]:                    $\displaystyle m=\frac{8-8}{-11+ 5}$
2. [Fraction] Subtract/Add:                     $\displaystyle m=\frac{0}{-6}$
3. [Fraction] Divide/Simplify:                  $\displaystyle m=0$
