The slope is $0$ $0$

The line $y = 2$ $y=2$ gives the value $y = 2$ $y=2$ for any value of $x$ $x$

So it is a horizontal line, crossing the $y -$ $y-$ axis at the $y -$ $y-$ intercept of $2$ $2$ . Therefore, there is no slope, or better said: the slope is $0$ $0$

A slope-intercept equation would be $y = 0 \cdot x + 2$ $y=0*x+2$

Answer 2 · 2015-03-31T11:54:56

The slope of a line is given by
$(Delta y)/(Delta x) =$ change in $y$ for a corresponding change in $x$ .

For $y=2$ the change in $y$ ( $Delta y$ ) is $0$ regardless of the change in $x$ ,
so
slope of $y=2$ is $0$
