The given line equation is y=1.

The general form of the line equation is


y=mx+b

Comparing this equation with y=1, we get


mx+b=1


mx+b=(0)x+1

Compare coefficient of x and constant term, we get


m=0\text{ and b=1}

Here m=0 is the slope of the line y=1.

Hence the slope of the line y = 1 is zero.

This statement is true.
