The slope of this equation is $m = 0$ $m=0$

Explanation:

We begin by isolating the y variable which puts the equation in slope_intercept form $y = m x + b$ $y=mx+b$ where
$m =$ $m=$ slope
and
$b =$ $b=$ the y-intercept.

$y - 3 = 0$ $y-3=0$

$ycancel(-3)cancel(+3) = 0 +3$

$y=3$

This equation is is actually $y = 0x +3$

The slope of this equation is $m=0$

The graph of this line is a horizontal line through $y = 3$
A horizontal line has no rise and therefore the slope is zero.
