You asked:

Calculate the slope of the line passing through \(\left(-9, -3\right)\) and \(\left(4, -3\right)\).

MathBot Answer:

\[ \text{slope} = 0 \]

The slope of the line through the two distinct points \((x_1, y_1)\) and \((x_2, y_2)\), where \(x_1 \ne x_2\), is given by the formula: \[\text{slope} = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}\] Therefore: \[ \begin{aligned} \text{slope} &= \frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1} \\ &= \frac{ -3 - -3 }{ 4 - -9 } \\ &= \frac{ 0 }{ 13} \\ &= 0 \end{aligned} \]
