Answer 1

To find the slope of a line, we use the formula:

slope = (change in y)/(change in x)

Given the points (-4,-2) and (1,-2), the change in y is 0 (because the y-values are the same), and the change in x is 1 - (-4) = 5.

Therefore, the slope of the line is:

slope = 0/5 = 0.

So, the correct choice is:

A. The slope of the line is 0.
