Answer:

y=-6

Explanation:

y=mx+b, b is the y-intercept, m is slope

slope (m)= rise/run

(-6--6)/(7-3)=

0/4=

0

So plug it in.

y=(0)x+b

y=b

But what is y?

Pick either coordinate and plug the y-value into the equation y=b.

Now you have -6=b

So the final equation is y=-6.

It doesn't matter what the x value is, it's going to be multiplied by 0, the y coordinate on this line will always be -6.

Alternatively, you can plot it out, both (7,-6) and (3,-6) have the same y coordinate, therefore you can immediately see that the slope=0 because it's just a horizontal line.
