The value of b could be b = 4.
When the slope of a line is zero, it means the line is horizontal. Therefore, for Hank to draw a line with zero slope passing through the points (-2, 4) and (3, b), the y-coordinates of the two points must be the same. Since the y-coordinate of the point (-2, 4) is 4, the y-coordinate of the second point must also be 4.
Therefore, b = 4.
