Answer:

y=8

Explanation:

A line has a general equation given by: y=mx+b

Where 'm' is the slope and 'b' is an offset.

Using the given points we are able to find the slope

Point 1: (0,8)

Point 2: (8,8)

the slope is = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1) =0 when evaluating

to obtain the offset lets eval the general equation in point 1.

8= 0*x+b, this leaves us to b=8

The former equation of our line y=8
