B.
The slope of the line is undefined.
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.
