Answering:

The equation of the line is y = -3

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of the line passing through the points (x₁, y₁) and (x₂, y₂) is given as:


y-y_1=m(x-x_1)

where m represents the slope and is given by the formula:


m=(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)

For the line passing through (1, -3) and (2, -3)


x_1=1,\text{ y^^^^2081=-3, x^^^^2082 = 2, y^^^^2082 =-3}

The slope is calculated as:


\begin{gathered} m=(-3-(-3))/(2-1) \\ m=0 \end{gathered}

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

y + 3 = 0

y = -3

The equation of the line is y = -3
