Answer

$m = 0$

Work Step by Step

We are given the two points $(-4, 2)$ and $(5, 2)$. Let's use the formula to find the slope $m$ given two points: $m = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}$ Let's plug in the values into this formula: $m = \frac{2 - 2}{5 - (-4))}$ Subtract the numerator and denominator to simplify: $m = \frac{0}{9}$ Any fraction with $0$ as its numerator equals $0$: $m = 0$
