A horizontal line has a slope of 0. If you're using the slope formula, then when the numerator is equal to 0 then the slope is 0.
It is the difference between the coordinates of two points in 2-dimensional space, measured in the horizontal direction.
Slope intercept form is y = mx + b, where m is the slope and b is the y intercept. To graph this, look at b. The number there is the y intercept. Look on the y axis on the graph and find the place where that number occurs. Plot that point, which will be (0, b). Then look at the m term. This is the slope. Imagine this number as a fraction. If it is a whole number, imagine it as the whole number divided by one. The fraction is the slope. The numerator is how far you move up or down, and the denomontator is how far you move left and right on the graph. Find the second point this way, then you can draw your line. Hope this helps!
The slope is the rise of the line divided by the run of the line. For example if the slope says 3/2, from the point you are on, you move to the right two times and then move up 3 spots
The slope of the graph does not exist. And in the context of "this" problem it means absolutely nothing.
