The slope is zero.

Explanation:

This is the equation representing a perfectly horizontal line. This line neither goes up nor down so its slope, describing the inclination of the line, must be zero.

Also, from the definition of slope m you have:
m-(Deltay)/(Deltax)
but for every choice of two x values you get always 2 as y value so that Deltay=2-2=0.
