Answer

The slope of the line is $0$.

Work Step by Step

Take first two points from the table. $(x_1,y_1)=(-1,-6)$ and $(x_2,y_2)=(2,-6)$. Use slope formula. $m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$ Substitute all the values. $m=\frac{-6-(-6)}{2-(-1)}$ Simplify. $m=\frac{-6+6}{2+1}$ $m=\frac{0}{3}$ $m=0$ Hence, the slope of the line is $0$.
