Question

Find an equation of the line having the given slope and containing the given point. Express your answer in the form y=a, =b, or y=mx+b. Then graph the line. M=0,(0,-8)

Answer 1

The equation of the line is y=?

Answer 2

y=-8

Answer 3

If there is no slope then its a straight line

Answer 4

if m=0 then the line is horizontal and has the form y=b where b is the y-coordinate of any point on the line, thus since (0,-8) is on the line the equation is y=-8

Answer 5

so it just goes straight across the x-axis? what would the 2nd point be or is it only one point.

Answer 6

It is a straight horizontal line

Answer 7

If the slope is zero that means it's a horizontal line.

If the line goes through the point (0,-8), that means that the horizontal line sits at y = -8.

That's it. :)

Answer 8

it is parallel to the y axis

Answer 9

whoops I meant x axis

Answer 10

it wouldnt be vertical? ok thanks do i need to shade anything or it is it just horizantal

Answer 11

it is just horizontal
graph y=-8 on ur calc and you will see how it looks

Answer 12

i dont have calculator but i know how it is

Answer 13

thanks
