What is the standard form of an equation of the horizontal line that passes through the point ( 2, - 8 )?

1 Answer

May 26, 2016

#y=-8#

Explanation:

Horizontal line is parallel to the x-axis. Thus #y# will always be the same value and #x# can assume an infinite number of values

Thus the equation is: #y=-8#
