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
