Write an equation for the line with the given attributes. Write your answer in slope-intercept form if possible: Horizontal and passing through the point (-3,8)

Question

watchmath · Answer

Since the line is horizontal then the slope is $m=0$.
Then the line is of the form $y=0x+b$, i.e., $y=b$.Since the line passes through $-3,8$, then $y=8$ is the line that we are looking for.

I'm not sure how to write that out into an equation....

watchmath · Answer

Well it says that write in the slope intercept form if it is possible. In this case we can't write it as $y=mx+b$ the slope $m=0$. So in our equation there is no $x$ variable and the equation of the line is just.
$y=8$
