A line with slope 0 represents a HORIZONTAL line. i.e. a line parallel to x axis.

Explanation:

Slope of a line passing thorough two points;
(x_1, y_1) & (x_2, y_2)
is given by :-
slope = m = (y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)

therefore in this case,
(x_1, y_1) = (-2, 4)
(x_2, y_2) = (3, 4)

therefore slope
= (y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1) = (4-4)/(3-(-2)) = 0/5 = 0

Hence slope of the line is 0.

A line with slope 0 represents a HORIZONTAL line. i.e. a line parallel to x axis.
