The slope is 0

The line y=2 gives the value y=2 for any value of x

So it is a horizontal line, crossing the y-axis at the y-intercept of 2. Therefore, there is no slope, or better said: the slope is 0

A slope-intercept equation would be y=0*x+2

The slope of a line is given by
(Delta y)/(Delta x) = change in y for a corresponding change in x.

For y=2 the change in y (Delta y) is 0 regardless of the change in x,
so
slope of y=2 is 0
