Question

Write the equation for a horizontal line that passes through the point (-2,8)

Answer 1

`y=8`

Explanation:

we know that

A horizontal line is parallel to the x-axis

The slope of a horizontal line is equal to zero

The equation of a horizontal line is equal to the y-coordinate of the point that passes through it

The line passes through the point (-2,8)

so

The y-coordinate is 8

therefore

The equation is equal to

`y=8`
