Yes, if the y's are both the same and you connected the two points on a graph, they would form a horizontal line graphically. The slope of a horizontal line is 0.
If you're more comfortable with the analytical approach, use the slope formula:
highlight%28m=%28y%5B2%5D-y%5B1%5D%29%2F%28x%5B2%5D-x%5B1%5D%29%29
(x1,y1)=(-7,3) and (x2,y2)=(3,3)
m=%283-3%29%2F%283-%28-7%29%29
m=0%2F10
highlight%28m=0%29
You were right. Life is good.
Happy Calculating!!!!
