Answer:

your equation is Y = 6

Explanation:

Use Midpoint Formula to find the slope M first

Name the coordinates of both points x1 = -2, y1 = -6, x2 = 4, y2 = 6

Plug them in the formula

M = y2 - y1/ x2 - x1

M =( 6 - 6)/( 4 - (-2))

M = 0/6

M = 0

Then use point slope formula

Plugin the slope M = 0 in the formula and pick one of the points above. Name the coordinates of the point X1 = 4 and y1 = 6

y - y1 = m(x - x1)

y - 6 = 0(x - 4)

y - 6 = 0

y = 6

your equation is Y = 0x + 6 but keep in this form y = b

This is a horizontal Line
