Question

What is the slope of the line that passes through the given points?
(6, -1) and (-3, -1)
Please help, I have no clue what this is >.< THANKS!

Use the slope formula which is y2 - y1 over x2 - x1

Yes, Clover-Love,
Find the slope of the line segment joining the 2 given points first.

Then choose one of the points.

Substitute the coordinates of that point, and the slope, into the point-slope equation of a straight line.

the slope is change in y over the change in x. The formula is y2-y1 over x2 - x1. So -1-(-1) over -3 -6 which equals 0/ -9

Happy you 're happy.  Please, would you go on to write the slope of the line segment connecting those 2 points?      m =  ??

Mind writing the equation of the line in question?  Doing so is pretty straightforward.
