Find the equation of a line that passes through the given points
(0,2) and (6,2)

Answer 1

Hello there,

Find the equation of a line that passes through the given points

(0,2) and (6,2)

Answer: y=2

Answer 2

y=2

Explanation:

To write the equation of a line we must have a slope and a point. To find the slope we use the slope formula and substitute (x,y) points in it as shown below:

`m=(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)=(2-2)/(6-0)=(0)/(6)=0`

Since the slop is 0, this is a horizontal line of the form y=b. B is the y-intercept of the points on the line. Notice that both are 2? y=2
