Question

What is an equation of the line that passes through the points (−5,6) and (7, 6)

Answer 1

y = 6

Explanation:

The formula of a slope:

`m=(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)`

We have the points (-5, 6) and (7, 6). Substitute:

`m=(6-6)/(7-(-5))=(0)/(12)=0`

The slope m = 0. Therefore it's a horizontal line y = a.

In the given points we have y = 6.
