Question

Write the equation of the line that passes through the points (8,3) and (7,3). Put your answer in fully reduced point-slope form, unless it is a vertical or horizontal line

Answer 1

y = 3 (Horizontal line)

Explanation:

point: (8, 3) and (7, 3)

(y - y1)/(y2 - y1) = (x - x1)/(x2 - x1)

(y - 3)/(3 - 3) = (x - 8)/(7 - 8)

(y - 3)/0 = (x - 8)/(-1)

(-1)(y - 3) = 0

-y + 3 = 0

-y = - 3

y = 3 (Horizontal line)

Answer 2

Explanation:

the equation :

(y-3)/(3-3) = (x-8) /(7-8)

(y-3) /0 = (x-8) /(-1)

(-1)(y-3) = 0(x-8)

-y +3 = 0

y = 3

(this is a horizontal line)
