Question

Write the equation of the line that passes through the points (-8, 7) and (2, 7). Put your answer in fully simplified point-stope form, unless it is a vertical or horizontal line​

Answer 1

Answer: y=+7

Explanation:

y = mx+b

• m is the slope, and

• b is the y-intercept

m= y2-y1/ x2-x1

m= 7-7/ 2- (-8)

m=0/10 so m=0

To find b, think about what your (x,y) points mean:

(-8,7). When x of the line is -8, y of the line must be 7.

(2,7). When x of the line is 2, y of the line must be 7.
