Question

Determine the equation of a

horizontal line that passes through
each given point.

(-6,5)

Answer 1

y = 5

Explanation:

We are given that the line is horizontal, therefore, its slope is equal to 0.

We can substitute
`m = 0` and the given point's coordinates into the formula:
`y - y_2 = m(x - x_1)`:

`y - 5 = 0(x - (-6)) \\\to y = 5`

Answer 2

y = 5

Explanation:

The y value in the point is 5. A horizontal line would be y = 5. (-6,5) would go through that line.
