Problema Solution

Write an equation of a line given that the line;is horizontal and passes through the point (−5, −6).

Answer provided by our tutors

the line is horizontal if and only if the slope m=0 that is it can be written as


y = 0*x + b, where b the y-intercept


or


y = b


the line goes trough (-5, -6) that is for x = -5 => y = -6 or


-6 = 0*(-5) + b


b = -6


thus the line is


y = -6
