Answer:

m = 0/-1 or 0 (horizontal slope)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given points (-17, 12) and (-18, 12):

Let  x1 = -17

x2 = -18

y1 = 12

y2 = 12

We can use the following slope formula:

[tex]m = \frac{y2 - y1}{x2 - x1} = \frac{12 - 12}{-18 - 17} = \frac{0}{-1} = 0[/tex]

Since the slope, m = 0, then it is a horizontal slope.
