The answer is:

The equation of the line which includes the points (-5,5) and (2,5) is:

y=5

To find the line which includes the points (-5,5) and (2,5) we can use the following equation:

y-y_1=(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)*(x-x_1)

So, using the points (-5,5) and (2,5), we have:

y-5=(5-5)/(2-(-5))*(x-(-5))

y-5=(0)/(2+5)*(x-(-5))

y-5=0*(x+5)

y-5=0

y=5

We have that the equation of the line which includes the points (-5,5) and (2,5) is:

y=5
