Question

What is the equation of a line, in general form, that passes through points (-1, 2) and (5, 2)?

Answer 1

can you give me the slope that passes through these two points?
use m = (y1-y2)/(x1-x2) to find slope.

Answer 2

(y-y1)/(y1-y2)=(x-x1)(x1-x2)

Answer 3

@Dpalnc 0?

Answer 4

once you find slope m, put it in point slope form: y - y1 = m(x-x1)

then to get it in general form, make 1 side of the equal sign equal to 0.

Answer 5

what is y?

Answer 6

ok.. agreed.
now that the slope is 0. notice that no matter what x is your slope is zero..

Answer 7

so your equation is y = 2

Answer 8

to make it in general form, subtract 2 from both sides to get
y - 2 = 0
