A warehouse manager is tracking the inventory level of a discontinued mechanical part. Since no new parts are being ordered and none are being used, the inventory remains constant at 75 units, creating a horizontal line on the tracking graph. Arrange the following steps in the correct logical order to calculate the slope of this horizontal inventory line using the slope formula.

A network engineer is monitoring a dedicated fiber-optic line with a fixed bandwidth capacity of 10 Gigabits per second. If this capacity is plotted on a coordinate plane with time (in hours) on the x-axis and bandwidth (in Gbps) on the y-axis, the resulting graph is a horizontal line. What is the numerical value of the slope for this horizontal line?
A safety inspector is monitoring a pressure relief valve on an industrial steam boiler. The valve is set to a constant limit of 150 psi.
