Answer:

Explanation:

m= [ -3-(-3)] รท [-8-7} = 0

Therefore, the slope of the line is 0.

Now use the slope and either of the two points to find the y-intercept.

y= mx+b

-3= (0)(7)+b

b=-3

Write the equation in slope intercept form as:

y= mx+b

y= (0)x-3

y= -3

Hence, the equation of the line is y= -3.
