For this case we have the following:


Given points:
(x1, y1) = (4,8) and
(x2, y2) = (9,8)\\

The formula of the slope is given by:



m = ((y2-y1))/((x2-x1))\\\\m = ((8-8))/((9-4))\\\\m = (0)/(5)\\\\m = 0\\

So, the slope is
m = 0and the line is a horizontal line


Answer:


Slope 0, horizontal line
