a horizontal line always has a slope of 0, now, for the sake of a silly proof, let's do some rigamarole to get it.

to get the equation of any straight line, we simply need two points off of it, let's use those two in the picture below


(\stackrel{x_1}{-3}~,~\stackrel{y_1}{7})\qquad (\stackrel{x_2}{7}~,~\stackrel{y_2}{7}) \\\\\\ \stackrel{slope}{m}\implies \cfrac{\stackrel{\textit{\large rise}} {\stackrel{y_2}{7}-\stackrel{y1}{7}}}{\underset{\textit{\large run}} {\underset{x_2}{7}-\underset{x_1}{(-3)}}} \implies \cfrac{0}{7 +3} \implies \cfrac{ 0 }{ 10 } \implies \stackrel{ }{\text{\LARGE 0}}
