x intercept of 6 means (6,0) is on the line

y intercept of 0 means (0,0) is on the line

so the slope is (0-0)/(6-0) = 0

Answer: 0

Note: The question is actually bad; the line through the origin with slope zero is the X axis itself in which case it wouldn't be right to call the X intercept (just) (6,0).
