## Finding the Slope of a Line
### Objective
Calculate the slope of the line between two given points.
### Problem Statement:
Find the slope of the line between the points (3, 8) and (1, 8).
### Slope Calculation Formula:
\[ m = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1} \]
### Given Points:
- Point 1: \((3, 8)\)
- Point 2: \((1, 8)\)
### Solution:
Using the slope formula, substitute the given points:
\[ m = \frac{8 - 8}{1 - 3} \]
\[ m = \frac{0}{-2} \]
\[ m = 0 \]
The slope is \( m = \).
If the slope is undefined, enter DNE.
