The equation of the line that goes through the points (-8,6) and (3,6) can be written in general form Ax+By+C=0 where a=? b=? c=?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the y-coordinates are the same for the two points,therefore the line must be horizontal; horizontal lines have the for y=b, where b is any real number in this case b=6: y=b is slope intercept form, and standard form is y-6=0

OpenStudy (anonymous):

A=0, B=1, C=-6 to answer the question marks above

OpenStudy (mef4.0):

if you graph those points, you'll see that they form a horizontal line and that makes the question very confusing

OpenStudy (allyson):

thanks mandolino!

no problemo

Find an equation of a line perpendicular to x=4 and passing through the point (2, 2). y=?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

y=2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

y=2, since x=4 is vertical the perpendicular line is horizontal, and since every point on horizontal line has the same y-coordinate,and since this line goes through (2,2)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

good?

OpenStudy (allyson):

my thing says thats not right.. my web work..

OpenStudy (anonymous):

check this attachment out

OpenStudy (anonymous):

maybe ur looking at the wrong answer?
