Answer:
y = 2
Explanation:
So we need to find the slope first.
m = y_2 - y_1/x_2 - x_1
Substitute
m = 2 - (2)/8 - (-3)
Simplify now.
Multiply -1 by 2
m = 2 - 2/(8 - (-3)
2 from 2
m = 0/8 - (-3)
Now we need to simplify the denominator.
To do so lets multiply -1 by -3
m = 0/8 + 3
m = 0/11
m = 0
Now we have the slope of 0 and the given point of (-3, 2)
So y - (2) = 0 * (x - (-3)) (Formula > y - y_1 = m(x - x_1) this comes from the original slope equation]
Simplify further
y - 2 = 0 * (x + 3)
Now we solve for y
Multiply 0 by x + 3
y - 2 = 0
Add 2 to both sides
y = 2
