What is the slope of the line y = 3?

hartnn (hartnn):

slope of line y=mx+c will be m. and y=3 can also be written as y = 0x+3

Think about what this graph looks like. No matter what value you select for x, the corresponding. Value for y is 3. If x = -5, then y = 3. If x = 0, then y = 3. If x = 8, then y = 3. If you plot lots of points such as these, you will see that y is a horizontal line through the point y = 3 on the y-axis. . Now think about the definition of slope. Slope is the change in x divided into the corresponding. Change in y. Although x can change along this horizontal line, notice that y never changes. So the change in y is zero. . Therefore, any change in x divided into the change in y is the same as the change in x divided into zero. The answer is zero. Therefore, for y = 3 the slope is zero. In fact, for any horizontal graph the slope is zero.
