2. through: (5,-4) slope= -1/3

For the first one, since the slope is 0 the line must be just a horizontal line that passes through the given point. The equation would be y=-4 because the y coordinate for the point is -4.

For the second problem, utilize y=mx+b, the parent equation for slope intercept form (m-slope, b-y intercept).

y=mx+b

-4=-1/3(5)+b

b=-2 1/3

equation: y=-1/3x - 2 1/3
