Solution:

We know that:

  • (x,y) = (4,6) ⇒ x = 4, y = 6
  • Slope = 0

Since we know the coordinates and the slope of the line, we can use point slope form to find the equation.

  • y - y₁ = m(x - x₁)
  • ⇒ y - 6 = 0(x - 4)
  • ⇒ y - 6 = 0
  • ⇒ y = 0 + 6
  • ⇒ y = 6

Thus, the equation of the line is y = 6.

Answer/Step-by-step explanation:

Given us that;

Passes through the point (4,6)

slope of 0

Note;

The equation of a line has the form:

y - y₁ = m(x - x₁)

Solve;

Now we plug in the coordinates of the given point the line goes through, and solve:

y - 6 = 0(x - 4)

y - 6 = 0

y = 0 + 6

y = 6

Hence, equation of the line is y = 6
