Answer:

Answer is D.

Explanation:

Which is not true?

So, lets assess the answers given to the question.

A. It is the equation of a horizontal line.

Yes, it is. Since there is only one y - value which is y = -4, we can confirm this is the y intercept, so therefore the x value is zero. But it's not the answer we're looking for.

B. It's slope is zero, yes the slope is zero. It only lists the y-intercept which confirms that the slope is 0.

C. Yes, I mean i can't really explain how. Just use desmos calculator, the graph is exactly perpendicular.

D. The line actually does cross the x-axis, -4 is the y intercept and the x value is 0, and zero is still a point. So D is the one which isn't correct making it the correct answer.
