Question

Find the equation (in slope-intercept form) of the line with the given slope that passes through the point with the given coordinates.slope: 0 ordered pair: (-2, -1)

Answer 1

Given:

Slope of line = 0

Passing point (-2,-1)

The objective is to find the equation of line.

The slope intercept form of a line is given by:

`y=mx+c`

Where m is the slope of line and c is the y-intercept of line.

The y intercept of line is given as:

`\begin{gathered} y=mx+c \\ -1=(0)(-2)+c \\ c=-1 \end{gathered}`

The equation of line is:

`\begin{gathered} y=mx+c \\ y=0(x)-1 \\ y=-1 \end{gathered}`

Hence, the equation of line is y= - 1.
