What is the equation of a horizontal line passing through (-3,-5)?
2 Answers
Explanation:
If y always equals -5 then the x value will change but the y value will not. This means that the slope of the line is zero and will be parallel to the x axis, which is the horizontal line.
Point-slope form:
Slope-intercept form:
Explanation:
A horizontal line has a slope of
Point-slope form:
where:
Plug in the known values.
Slope-intercept form:
where:
We can convert the point-slope form to slope-intercept form by solving for
graph{y+5=0(x+3) [-9.875, 10.125, -7.52, 2.48]}
