What is the slope of the following line?
y = -7.921
Whenever you have y=k, where k is a number and there is no x, you have a horizontal line going through k, in this case -7.921, like this:

Slope is the change in y(the vertical change) / the change in x (the horizontal change)
For horizontal lines there is no vertical change, therefore the slope of all horizontal lines is, m=0.
Happy Calculating!!!
