The book says Plotting the y-intercept of 5, then performing a run of 1 unit (dont get this) and a rise of 0 would result in a horozontal line passing through the point (0,5)?????

They are just trying to explain to you why a line with slope zero would be horizontal

Yea but why did they say the rise 1 part that would mean we land at 6right>

You could just as well say: "perform a run of 12 and a rise of 0"
