The slope is zero.

Explanation:

You might immediately see that this equation represents a perfectly horizontal line that will have slope zero (neither increase nor decreases).
Also, in terms of general form you can write it as:
#y=mx+c# where #m# is the slope; but in your case you have:
#y=0x+5# giving #m=0#.

Graphically:

graph{0x+5 [-16.02, 16.02, -8.01, 8.01]}
