Answer 1

Given the linear equation:

y = 6

Let's identify if the line is horizontal or vertical.

Then give the slope.

Since the line is the y-coordinate of a point: y = 4, we can say the line passes the graph at all y = 4.

Therefore, the line is a horizontal line.

Horizontal line have zero slope because it is flat and has no steepness.

Since the line is a horizontal line, the slope of the line is zero.

ANSWER:

• Horizontal line

,

• Slope = 0
