Answer :

The graph you described is a straight horizontal line passing through the points (-5, -3) and (5, -3). Since the y-coordinates of both points are the same (-3), the line has a slope of zero.

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

slope = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)

Substituting the given points:

slope = (-3 - (-3)) / (5 - (-5))
= 0 / 10
= 0

Therefore, the word that describes the slope of the line is "zero".
