Question

Find the equation of the horizontal line that passes through the point (-5,6) using the point slope formula

Answer 1

So first blank=6

Second blank=0

Third blank=-5

Fourth blank=6

Explanation:

It is a horizontal line so the equation is just going to be

`y=\text{ whatever y-coordinate they gave you in that one point}`.

So it will be
`y=6`

We are going to do the point-slope form too as I requested.

Point-slope form is
`y-y_1=m(x-x_1)`.

We have m=0 since you said the slope was 0 and since it said your have a horizontal line (which means the slope slope or m is 0).

You also that it contains the point
`(-5,6)=(x_1,y_1)`.

So our line in point-slope form is
`y-6=0(x-(-5))`.
