B
C

💡 Strategic Tip: Think of skiing: A horizontal floor has 0 slope (flat). A vertical cliff has undefined slope (you fall).
Choice B is incorrect because a slope of 0 belongs to horizontal lines (). Choice C is incorrect because 5 is the x-intercept, not the slope. Choice D is incorrect because a slope of 1 is a diagonal line ().
