Question

How do you write (10, -6) and (-2, -6) as an equation

Answer 1

y=-6

Explanation:

Method 1:

Both the y coordinates of the points are the same and the x coordinates are distinct.

Therefore the straight line passing through the point is parallel to X-axis.

The common y coordinate is -6, therefore the line equation is y=-6.

Method 2:

We will solve it using general line equation

(y-y1)=(
`(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)`)(x-x1)

where (x1,y1) and (x2,y2) are the 2 points.

• (y+6)=(
  `(-6+6)/(10+2)`)(x+2)

• (y+6)=0

• y=-6
