Positive is a line that increases those most commonly go from the bottom left corner to the top right.
Negative is a line that decreases those most commonly go from the top left to the bottom right.
Zero is a line that is horizontal which goes from left to right.
Undefined is a vertical line which goes from top to bottom

For this line it would be a Zero slope line because it goes from left to right.

Hope this helps!

From the given graph, we can say that the equation of the graph is


y=-3

which can also be written as


y = 0*x -5

Comparing it with slope intercept form, that is


y = mx +b

we will get slope equals to 0 .

So the correct option is the third option .
