Answer 1

y=1/2x  2y-1x=0 lolololol

Answer 2

`y-1=0(x-2)`

Explanation:

We are given that a horizontal line which is passing through the point (2,1).

We have to find the equation in point -slope form of the line .

We know that equation of horizontal line is given by

`y=a`

It means y does not vary with x.Therefore,

Slope of line=
`(dy)/(dx)=m=0`

Slope of horizontal line =0

Point- slope form equation of line

`y-y-1=m(x-x_1)`

We have,
`x_1=2,y_1=1, m=0`

Substitute the values in the given formula

Then, we get the equation of horizontal line which is passing through the point (2,1) is given by

`y-1=0(x-2)`

Hence, the equation of horizontal line which is passing through the point (2,1) is given by

`y-1=0(x-2)`
