Know that a line parallel to the x-axis has a slope of 0. To find the equation of the line given the slope and a point on the line, we can use the point-slope equation, which is (
m is the slope and (
x_1,
y_1) is a point on the line):


(y - y_1) = m(x - x_1)


Using the information we know, we can create the equation:


(y + 5) = 0(x - 8)


y - 5 = 0


y = 5


The equation of the line is y = 5.
