Explanation:

To get the slope, it might be easier for you to make a table:

x:" " -2 , -7

y:" " -4 , -4

A slope is the change in y over the change in x. To get the change, you subtract, -4 minus -4 is 0. -2 minus -7 is 5.

(-4 - (-4))/(-2 - (-7)) = 0/5 = 0

This line has no slope. It is a straight line parallel to the x-axis.
