Question

Equation of the line that passes through (8,-7) (-6,-7)

Answer 1

y = - 7

Explanation:

line pass (8, - 7) (- 6, -7)

y = mx + b m: slope b: y intercept

m = difference of y / difference of x

m = (- 7 - (- 7)) / (- 6 - 8) = 0 / (-14) = 0 ... line parallel to x axis

b = y - mx = - 7 - 0*8 = -7

equation : y = -7

Answer 2

y = - 7

Explanation:

line pass (8, - 7) (- 6, -7)

y = mx + b m: slope b: y intercept

m = difference of y / difference of x

m = (- 7 - (- 7)) / (- 6 - 8) = 0 / (-14) = 0 ... line parallel to x axis

b = y - mx = - 7 - 0*8 = -7

equation : y = -7
