Answer

The slope is \[0\] and line is horizontal.

Work Step by Step

Let \[\left( {{x}_{1}},{{y}_{1}} \right)=\left( -3,4 \right)\]and\[\left( {{x}_{2}},{{y}_{2}} \right)=\left( 6,4 \right)\]. Slope of line can be find by: \[m=\frac{{{y}_{2}}-{{y}_{1}}}{{{x}_{2}}-{{x}_{1}}}\] Substitute the values to get, \[\begin{align} & m=\frac{4-4}{6-\left( -3 \right)} \\ & =\frac{0}{9} \\ & =0 \end{align}\] Since, the slope is zero. Therefore, the line is horizontal.
