slope = 0

Explanation:

To find the slope of a line passing through 2 points use the #color(blue)"gradient formula"#

#color(red)(|bar(ul(color(white)(a/a)color(black)(m=(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1))color(white)(a/a)|)))#
where # (x_1,y_1)" and" (x_2,y_2)" are 2 points"#

let # (x_1,y_1)=(5,-1)" and " (x_2,y_2)=(-2,-1)#

#m=(-1-(-1))/(-2-5)=0/(-7)=0#
