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#
