Question

How do you find a standard form equation for the line with (-2, 4) and (3,4)?

Answer 1

See the entire explanation below:

Explanation:

Because both points have the same `y` term of `4` these points define a horizontal line. A horizontal line has the form: `y = a` where `a` is the `y` value for all points of the line.

Therefore, the equation for this line is `y = 4`

The standard form of a linear equation is: `color(red)(A)x + color(blue)(B)y = color(green)(C)`

Where, if at all possible, `color(red)(A)`, `color(blue)(B)`, and `color(green)(C)`are integers, and A is non-negative, and, A, B, and C have no common factors other than 1

Therefore, the standard form of the equation for this line is:

`color(red)(0)x + color(blue)(1)y = color(green)(4)`
