Shown above is the graph of $y = 6$ $y=6$ .

The line crosses the y-axis at $6$ $6$ , as the line is always at that value. As it is a horizontal line, the slope is zero.

See a solution process below:

The equation $y = 6$ $y = 6$ means for each and every value of $x$ $x$ , $y$ $y$ will be equal to $6$ $6$ .

This is the definition of a horizontal line.

By definition, the slope of a horizontal line is $m = 0$ $m = 0$

When $x = 0$ $x = 0$ then $y = 6$ $y = 6$

Therefore, the $y$ $y$ -intercept is: $(0, 6)$ $(0, 6)$
