Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation

The general slope-intercept equation of a line is:

`y=m\cdot x+b.`

Where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

In this problem we have the function:

`y=6=0\cdot x+6.`

1) We see that the slope of the line is m = 0.

2) The linear function has a constant value y = 6 for every value of x. So we conclude that this equation corresponds to a horizontal line.

Answer

1) Horizontal

2) Slope: m = 0
