No, a slope is undefined when 0 is in the denominator. If 0 is in the numerator, the slope is just defined as 0.

He's right. It is only undefined if the 0 is in the denominator

Nope, division by 0 is impossible, so it is undefined, but zero in the numerator just means the answer is 0.

A slope of 0 over -8 is equal to a slope of 0. This is a horizontal line.
