Zero to any power is zero; any non-zero number to the power zero is one. Thus, zero to the power zero is sort of contradictory.

Zero is pretty well defined. Division by zero is undefined.
A line with an undefined slope is a vertical line. A line with a slope of zero is a horizontal line. If you use the formula for slope m = (y2-y1) divided by (x2-x1)... For an undefined slope you will get zero in the denominator, which you cannot have because you cannot divide by zero. For a slope equal to zero, you will get a zero in the numerator. Zero divided by any non-zero denominator, will give you a slope of zero.

Division by zero is undefined because when the limit of 1/x is taken from the positive side of the graph it approaches infinity but when it approaches from the negative side it is negative infinity; thus, becoming an infinite discontinuity this kind of discontinuity makes it undefined.
