Given :

• a point on the coordinate plane (5,1)

• a line y=7

To Do :

• find the equation of a line parallel to y=7 passing through (5,1)

Starting :

• we can kickstart the process by identifying the gradient of y=7

it is 0

Next :

• use the literal equation

y-y1=m(x-x1)

y-1=0(x-5)

y-1=0x-0

y-1=0

y=1

Answer:

y=1
