Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The slope of a line passing through two points $(x_1,y_1)$ and $(x_2,y_2)$ can be found using the formula:
$$\text{slope}=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$$
Applying this formula to the given points: 
$$\text{slope}=\frac{4-4}{-2-3}=\frac{0}{-5}=0$$
Therefore, the slope of the line passing through the pair of points is 0.
