(\stackrel{x_1}{-3}~,~\stackrel{y_1}{4})\qquad (\stackrel{x_2}{6}~,~\stackrel{y_2}{4}) ~\hfill \stackrel{slope}{m}\implies \cfrac{\stackrel{rise} {\stackrel{y_2}{4}-\stackrel{y1}{4}}}{\underset{run} {\underset{x_2}{6}-\underset{x_1}{(-3)}}} \implies \cfrac{0}{6 +3}\implies 0

hmmm a line with a slope of 0 is a horizontal one, and it has no slope-intercept form.

Check the picture below.
