Input the equation of the given line.

The line including (4, 7) and (0, 7).

Answer 1

`y=7`

Explanation:

First, let's use the two given points to find the slope. Remember the slope equation:

`m=(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)`

`m=(7-7)/(0-4)`

`m=(0)/(-4)`

`m=0`

If we're following slope-intercept form, what we have so far is

`y=0x+b`

Substitute one of the given points for the
`x` and
`y` values in order to find
`b`:

`7=0(4)+b`

`7=b`

Now, if we put that back into our slope-intercept equation we get

`y=0x+7`

or,

`y=7`

Right off the bat, we can see how we ended up with this equation because both points have the same y-values. This indicates a horizontal line.

I hope this helps!
