Question

What is the equation of a horizontal line passing through the point (-3, 8)?

Ox=-3
Oy=8
Ox= 5
Oy=-11

Answer 1

Y=8

Explanation:

A horizontal line is going to be parallel to the x-axis, so you need to use your y-value to determine the equation of the line. Your y-value in the coordinate (-3,8) is 8, so y=8

Answer 2

Answer: y = 8

Step-by-step explanation: Whenever we are given a line and the problem says that it's horizontal or a flat line, we know that the equation of the line will always be in the form "y = a number".

Since we are given that the y-coordinate is 8, that means that

the equation of this line will be y = 8.
