Answer:


y=0x+2

Explanation:

Given the following question:

Point A = (3, 2) = (x1, y1)
Point B = (-6, 2) = (x2, y2)

To write the following points in slope intercept form we first need to calculate the slope by using the formula for slope or rise over run.


m=(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

m=(2-2)/(-6-3) =(0)/(-9)

0/-9=0

m=0

Now that we have to slope, we can now write the points in slope intercept form by using the formula y = mx + b and solve for b.


y=mx+b

y=2

m=0

x=3

2=0(3)+b

0*3=0

2=0+b

2+0=2

2=b

b=2

y=0x+2

Your answer in slope intercept form is "y = 0x + 2."

Hope this helps.
