Let's calculate the slopes for the two given pairs of points.

### Formula for slope:
The slope of a line passing through two points \((x_1, y_1)\) and \((x_2, y_2)\) is given by:
\[
m = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}
\]

### 1. For the points \((6, -2)\) and \((1, -2)\):

\[
m = \frac{-2 - (-2)}{1 - 6} = \frac{-2 + 2}{1 - 6} = \frac{0}{-5} = 0
\]

So, the slope is \(0\), meaning this is a horizontal line.

### 2. For the points \((-2, 2)\) and \((8, 2)\):

\[
m = \frac{2 - 2}{8 - (-2)} = \frac{0}{8 + 2} = \frac{0}{10} = 0
\]

Again, the slope is \(0\), meaning this is also a horizontal line.

Would you like further details or explanations?

Here are 5 related questions to consider:
1. How would the slope change if one of the points had a different \(y\)-value?
2. What is the equation of a line when the slope is 0?
3. How can you visually identify a horizontal line in a graph?
4. How is the slope calculated for vertical lines?
5. What is the significance of a zero slope in real-world contexts?

**Tip:** A slope of zero means the line is horizontal, indicating no change in the \(y\)-value regardless of the \(x\)-value.

Find the slope of the line passing through the points (6, -2) and (1, -2). Find the slope of the line passing through the points (-2, 2) and (8, 2).

Learn how to find the slope of lines passing through the points (6, -2) and (1, -2), and (-2, 2) and (8, 2). This solution uses the slope formula to determine that both lines have a slope of 0, indicating they are horizontal. Suitable for students in Grades 6-8.
