Question

How do I solve this problem? Write an equation in slope intercept form but if you can’t then write it in standard form.31. Write the equation of the horizontal line that passes through the point (9, -6)

Answer 1

The question said we shoud write the equation of the horizontal line that passes through the point (9, -6)

Given the point (9, -6)

We are to find the equation for the horizontal line passing through the given point as stated in the question.

Recall, the horizontal line is patrallel to x - axis, so the slope of our rqired line is 0.

The point slope form is given as:

y - y1 = m(x - x1)

So, the line equation in point slope form is:

y - (-6) = 0(x - 9)

y + 6 = 0

y = 0 - 6

y = -6
