Question

write and equation for the line through (-5,2) with a slope of 0

Answer 1

y - 2 = 0(x - (-5)) => y = 2.

Answer 2

The answer I get y=-5

Answer 3

y = - 5 is incorrect. See my reply.

Answer 4

My mistake! You are correct! The answer is Y=2.

Answer 5

yeah, if you're given a slope and a point just plug into point slope formula.

\[y-y_1 = m(x-x_1) \text{ where } x_1,y_1\]
is the x,y values of the point and m is the slope
