Answer:

y = 4

Explanation:

Given :-

  • passes through the point (-6, 4)
  • slope = 0

To Find :-

  • equation of line

Slope :-

  • We know coordinates of y-intercept are : (0, b)
  • Using point-slope form,
  • b - 4 = 0(0 + 6)
  • b - 4 = 0
  • b = 4

Substitution

  • Using the slope-intercept form,
  • y = mx + b
  • y = 0x + 4
  • y = 4

Answer:


y=0x+4

Explanation:

Given the following question:

Point A = (-6, 4) = (x, y)
Slope = 0

To find the equation of the line we are going to use the slope intercept form y = mx + b, substitute the values in for the variables and then solve for b to have our answer.


y=mx+b

y=4

m=0

x=-6

4=0(-6)+b

0*-6=0

4=0+b

4+0=4

4=b

b=4

y=0x+4

The equation of the line is "y = 0x + 4."

Hope this helps.
