What is the slope of the line y = 5?

  1. 5

  2. 1

  3. 0

  4. -1

The correct answer is: 0

The slope of the line y = 5 is 0. This is because the slope of a line is determined by the change in y values divided by the change in x values. In this case, the y values are all the same (equal to 5), so there is no change in y values. Therefore, the slope is 0. The other options are incorrect because they do not accurately represent the slope of this line. Option A, 5, would be the y-intercept of the line, but it does not represent the slope. Option B, 1, and option D, -1, are both different values for the slope, but they do not accurately represent the slope of this specific line.
