What is the equation of the line passing through the points (–25, 50) and (25, 50) in slope-intercept form? y = negative 50 x y = negative 50 y = 50 x y = 50y = negative 50 x y = negative 50 y = 50 x y = 50

Answer 1

Answer: D.

Explanation: I know its late but it's for future students :).

Answer 2

y = 50 .... The equation of the line

Explanation:

Solution:-

- The slope-intercept form for an equation of line is given as:

y = m*x + c

Where,

m : Slope of the line

c : Intercept of the line.

- We are given two points that lie on the line as follows:

( x1 , y1 ) = ( -25 , 50 ) & ( x2 , y2 ) = ( 25 , 50 )

- To determine the slope of the line ( m ), the following formula is used:

m = ( y2 - y1 ) / ( x2 - x1 )

m = ( 50 - 50 ) / ( 25 - ( -25 ) )

m = 0 / 50

m = 0

- The slope m = 0, means that the line is perfectly horizontal defined by the y = intercept ( c ):

y = c , ( -25 , 50 )

50 = c

Hence,

y = 50 .... The equation of the line
