Horizontal Line Elevation in Civil Engineering

A civil engineer is mapping a level bridge deck on a coordinate system where the xx-axis represents horizontal distance and the yy-axis represents elevation. Since the deck is level, its path forms a horizontal line. The engineer identifies a survey point on the deck at (1,4)(-1, 4). Based on your knowledge of horizontal lines, state the mathematical equation of this line and identify the numerical value of its slope (mm).
