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.
