Answer:

y=3

Explanation:

First, let's find the slope (m) of the line, which we do with the equation (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

the given points are (9,3) and (7,3)

we can label the points:

x1=9

y1=3

x2=7

y2=3

now substitute into the equation

m=(3-3)/(7-9)

m=0/-2

m=0

the slope is 0.

Now, use slope-point form, which is y-y1=m(x-x1)

substitute using the given numbers

y-3=0(x-9)

multiply

y-3=0

add 3 to both sides

y=3

the equation is y=3

hope this helps :)
