The slope for the set of coordinates is $0.$

$(10, -6) = color(blue)(x_1 , y_1$

$(2, -6) = color(blue)(x_2 , y_2$

The slope is calculated using formula:
Slope $=color(blue)((y_2 - y_1) / (x_2 - x_1)$

$= (-6 - (-6)) / (2 - 10)$

$= (-6 + 6) / ( - 8)$

$= 0/ (-8)$

$= 0$

The slope for the set of coordinates is $0.$
