  • (5,-3)
  • (-3,-3)

Slope:-


\\ \rm\hookrightarrow m=(-3+3)/(-3-5)=0

Equation of line in point slope form


\\ \rm\hookrightarrow y+3=0(x-5)


\\ \rm\hookrightarrow y+3=0


\\ \rm\hookrightarrow y=-3

Answer:

y=-3

Explanation:

First, you want the slope.

The slope is


(-3-(-3))/(-3 - 5) = (0)/(-8)\\

0/-8 = 0, so the line is horizontal.

the y-intercept must be -3 because it never changes.

So the equation must be

y=-3
