Given the point: (5, 4)

We know that the general equation of a horizontal line is y = k

Where k is constant.

From the point: (5, 4)

The only way for a line that is horizontal to satisfy (x, y) ==> (5, 4) is if y = 4.

To determine the equation of a horizontal line, the x-corrdinate is ignored because a horizontal line touches all possible values of x.

Therefore, the equation of the horizontal line is:

y = 4

ANSWER:

y = 4
