Answer

$m=0$

Work Step by Step

$\bf{\text{Solution Outline:}}$ Use the Slope Formula to find the slope of the line passing through the given points $\left( 0,-7 \right)$ and $\left( 3,-7 \right).$ $\bf{\text{Solution Details:}}$ With the given points, \begin{array}{l}\require{cancel} y_1= -7 ,\\y_2= -7 ,\\x_1= 0 ,\text{ and }\\ x_2= 3 .\end{array} Using $m=\dfrac{y_1-y_2}{x_1-x_2}$ or the Slope Formula, the slope, $m,$ of the line is \begin{array}{l}\require{cancel} m=\dfrac{-7-(-7)}{0-3} \\\\ m=\dfrac{-7+7}{0-3} \\\\ m=\dfrac{0}{-3} \\\\ m=0 .\end{array}
