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#.
