The slope is

$m = 0$

The formula for the slope of a line based upon two coordinate points is

$m = (y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)$

For the coordinate points $(-3,4) and (0,4)$
$x_1 = -3$
$x_2 = 0$
$y_1 = 4$
$y_2 = 4$

$m = (4-4)/(0-(-3))$

$m = 0/3$

This is a horizontal line with no rise, no $Deltay$ .

The slope is

$m = 0$
