Answer

$m=0$

Work Step by Step

To find the slope, we use the formula $m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$. We plug in the $x$ and $y$ values from the points shown in the graph: $m=\frac{-3-(-3)}{2-(-3)}$ We simplify above and below the fraction bar with subtraction: $m=\frac{0}{5}$ We divide the fraction: $m=0$
