Slope is 0

There is no change in up or down for any amount of along.

Explanation:

#y=-7+4" " ->" " y=-3#

This is stating that no matter what value you assign to #x# the value of #y# is always -3.

So the plot is that of a straight line parallel to the x-axis but it passes through the point #(x,y)=(0,-3)#

As the line is horizontal then the slope is 0. In that:

#y=mx+c" "->" "y=0x-3" "->" "y=-3#
