slope = #0#
y-intercept = #6#

Shown above is the graph of #y=6#.

The line crosses the y-axis at #6#, as the line is always at that value. As it is a horizontal line, the slope is zero.

See a solution process below:

The equation #y = 6# means for each and every value of #x#, #y# will be equal to #6#.

This is the definition of a horizontal line.

By definition, the slope of a horizontal line is #m = 0#

When #x = 0# then #y = 6#

Therefore, the #y#-intercept is: #(0, 6)#
