Question

Write the equation of a line that is

parallel to y = 9 and that passes through
the point (3, –8).​

Answer 1

Your answer would be “y=-8”

Answer 2

y = -8

Explanation:

Since the line is parallel to y=9, which is a horizontal line, the slope will be 0.

Using the equation y - y1 = m(x-x1), we'll plug in the numbers m = 0, y1 = -8, and x = 3.

y + 8 = 0(x - 3)

y = -8

The equation of the line is y = -8.
