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 given coordinate pairs: $m=\frac{\frac{4}{7}-\frac{4}{7}}{8-(-\frac{1}{2})}$
We simplify above and below the fraction bar with subtraction: $m=\frac{0}{8.5}$
We divide the fraction: $m=0$
