Answer:

Slope =
0

Formula:
y=(3)/(4)

Explanation:

First use the slope equation to find the rise over run:

Slope Equation =
(y_1-y_2)/(x_1-x_2)

Then insert the two points:


(3/4 - 3/4)/(2-5)

Then complete the equation:


(0)/(-3)

Now we have an answer for our slope:

Slope =
0, because -3 can go into 0 a total of 0 times.

Afterwards we take the Point Slope Formula:

Point Slope Formula =
y=mx+b

And insert our new slope and one of the points that belongs to this formula:


y=mx+b\\y=(3)/(4) ,x=5,b=?\\(3)/(4)=0(5)+b

Now we calculate for b which is the y-intercept:


(3)/(4) =0(5)+b\\(3)/(4) = 0+b\\(3)/(4) =b

Now we know that the y-intercept is
(3)/(4).

So we have all the parts of the formula:

Slope = 0

Y-intercept =
(3)/(4)

So now you plug in these numbers into their places in the point slope formula:


y=mx+b\\y=0x+(3)/(4)

So that's our answer, but you can simplify this equation more by seeing that no matter what the x-value is, when its multiplied by 0 it will always ne 0. So we can take the, 0x, out of the equation since the number will never change.

Which leaves us with:


y=(3)/(4)
