See a solution explanation below:

By definition the equation of a horizontal line is $y = a$ $y = a$ where $a$ $a$ is a constant, in this case $5$ $5$ .

Also, by definition, the slope of a horizontal line is $0$ $0$

Therefore, the slope of $y = 5$ $y = 5$ is $0$ $0$

$s l o p e = 0$ $slope = 0$

$slope = (Deltay)/(Deltax)$

Therefore, with $y=5$ for any $x$ :

$slope = (5-5)/(Deltax)$

$slope =0$
