Answer: y = 5

Explanation:

Slope is the change in y divided by the change in x.

To have zero slope, the numerator (change in y) of that fraction must be zero.

If the y-coordinate never changes, the line must by perfectly horizontal.

Thus, it can be defined by the y-coordinate alone.

Answer: y = 5

Hope this helps!
