Answer:

y = 7 is the equation of the line that passes through the point ( -2, 7 ) and has a slope of zero.

Explanation:

Given:

Let,

A ≡ ( x1 , y1 ) ≡ ( -2, 7 )

Slope = m = 0

To Find :

Equation of Line:

Solution:

Formula for , equation of a line passing through a point ( x1 , y1 ) and having a slope m is given by

Now substituting the values of x1 = -2 and y1 = 7 and slope m = 0 we get,

Which is the required equation of a line passing through the point ( -2, 7 ) and slope zero

Explanation:

Answer 2

y=-7

Explanation:

With a slope of zero there will be no x so you delete the slope from the equation y=0x-7 would become y=-7.
