Answer:y = -4

Step-by-step explanation: In order to find the slope by these two points, (6,-4), and (-4,-4), you must use the slope formula:

rise/run, which is this case, is y2-y1 / x2 - x1 <--- this is the slope formula

Let 6 be x2, -4 be x1, y2 be -4, and y1 being -4, plug these numbers in.

-4-(-4) / 6- (-4)

-4 + 4/ 6 +4

0/10 The slope of the line is zero, with a y-axis at -4. We know this because there is a zero in the final result and the y- coordinate between (6,-4) and (-4,-4) do not change in the slightest.

The final answer is then y = -4
