Question

(03.07 LC) Choose the equation of the horizontal line that passes through the point (−5, 1).

Answer 1

A horizontal line is represented by y = a number.
(-5,1)....what is the number in the y spot ? It is 1.
so ur horizontal equation is y = 1

Answer 2

the equation of the line is

`y=1`

Explanation:

we know that

The slope of a line parallel to the x-axis (horizontal line) is equal to zero, and the equation of the line is equal to the y-coordinate of the point that passes through the line

In this problem we have a horizontal line that passes through the point
`(-5,1)`

the y-coordinate of the point is
`1`

so

the equation of the line is

`y=1`
