You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Slope represented by m is m=change_in_x%2Fchange_in_y
(-2,-6) and (7,-6)
m=%287-%28-2%29%29%2F%28-6-%28-6%29%29
m=9%2F0
division by zero is undefined. This would be a horizonal line if plotted.
That is plainly visible by the same y variables. I went through the slope equation just for demonstration purposes.

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
m = %28Y2-Y1%29%2F%28X2-X1%29
m = slope
m= %28-6-%28-6%29%29%2F%287-%28-2%29%29
m = 0%2F9
no slope
