The formula to find slope is:

#m=(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)#

Where #m# is the slope

#(x_1,y_1)# and #(x_2,y_2)#

Next plug in both set of parenthesis into the equation

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

Solve numerator (top) and denominator (bottom)

#m=0/-3=0#

Because the slope is #0#, the line is horizontal because it has all the same #y# coordinate points
