The slope of a line is defined as the rate of change on the vertical, or y axis, divided by the rate of change on the horizontal, or x axis.
This is more commonly expressed as:
Δy/Δx
For example, a diagonal line that lies at a 45° angle relative to the horizontal axis will have a slope of 1/1 = 1.
In the case of a horizontal line, it's rate of change on the y axis will be zero, this means that it's slope will be 0/Δx. Zero divided by anything equals zero, so that ends up being the slope of the line.

What is a slope of 0?
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.
What is the slope for every horizontal line?
Zero (0).
Sketch a graph with a slope of 0?
It is a horizontal line.
What is the slope of y equals 4?
Zero. Y=4 is a horizontal line.
Do horizontal lines have an undefined slope?
No. The slope of a horizontal line is zero. The slope of a vertical line is undefined.
If the slope of a line is 0 is the line horizontal or vertical?
if the slope is 0, the line is horizontal.
Slope of horizontal line?
The slope of a horizontal line is zero.
A horizontal line has an undefined slope?
No, the slope of a horizontal line is 0. The slope of a vertical line is undefined.
The slope of a horizontal line is?
Horizontal lines have a slope of 0.
Why is a slope of a horizontal line zero?
The slope of a line is the tangent of the angle made by the line with the X-axis. Since for a horizontal line, this angle is 0 and tan(0) = zero, the slope of a horizontal line is zero.
Why is the slope of a horizontal line zero?
The slope of a line is the tangent of the angle made by the line with the X-axis. Since for a horizontal line, this angle is 0 and tan(0) = zero, the slope of a horizontal line is zero.
Slope of a vertical line?
The slope of a vertical line is undefined. Horizontal slope is 0.
What does a slope OF 0 tell you about a line?
It is a horizontal line.
Which slope indacates a line with no vertical changes?
a horizontal line (slope = 0)
What is the difference between slope of 0 and no slope?
No slope is undefined i.e. a vertical line slope of 0 is a horizontal line... i believe...
What is the slope of a line that is parallel to a horizontal line?
Well since the lines are parallel they would have the same slope. And the slope of any horizontal line is 0. The slope of a vertical line is undefined.
What is the slope of a line that goes horizontal?
it is 0
