Since is not represented in the equation, the value of the coordinate can be anything you want it to be, and no matter what value you choose for , will always take on the indicated value, in this case , so a point on this line is (anything you like, -5)

The slope of such a line is found by using the slope formula:



In this case:



And no matter what values you choose for and (so long as ), the value of the slope is 0.

For the visual learner, this is a horizontal line.
